'No Comment' has always been one of my all-time favorite volumes of cartoons. It is UTTERLY charming. It's one of the very few that contains nary a caption! Highly, highly recommended.

I love the book. I read it to my son, now I am obtaining a copy for my daughter. The words are a fact of life. Cats hate rats. Kids need a way to express their displeasure in a non threatning way.

My wife and I bought a bunch of books in the I Can Read series. One of the books was "The Fat Cat Sat on the Mat". I started reading it to my 22 month old son tonight before bed and stopped as I quickly realized the extremely ugly language. How did this book get past the editor/publisher HarperCollins and also the author didn't realize the audience? This book should be pulled from the shelf. See below for some examples: "The rat hates the cat. The cat does not care. The cat, who is fat, .... The rat hates that." The witch has a pet rat called "the little brat" "Then I will go and get my bat, said the rat. It will get you off the mat. No it won't, said the cat." "You think I am stupid, said the cat..." Again, it's a shame that we wasted an evening reading this hateful, negative book. This will be returned to the store with a complaint to the bookseller and also I'll write the publisher. Please vote with your dollar and do not support this. Thanks, Brian
