Beskrivelse
The rousing, Broadway-Show-tune flavored music of I WANNA BE PUR-R-R-FECT (SHOW CAT) frames witty lyrics, listing the trade-offs of breeding cats for the star-studded world of showing cats. The atmosphere that surrounds this rarified world further exacerbates the classic air of glorified entitlement displayed by these Aristo-cats. And what better era to place our feline stars, than one is which unselfconscious wealth and ostentatious display of such was de rigueur. No, not today, but the 1920's: Heyday of mansions manned by bevies of servants, all with British accents. At least in the movies, a butler, a chauffeur, and phalanxes of maids, cooks and gardeners scuttled through every household. And when it comes to visually depicting lyrics, reflecting the spirit of our subjects, there is a regal disregard of the letter-of-the-lyric For example, the incredible completely Tailless Manx is pictured as a trio of Vaudeville hoofers, dutifully dressed in top hat and, you guessed it, tails Each page depicts a single line of lyric and simultaneously showcases a single breed. The levity of the illustration is balanced on the opposing page with a cat fact entry highlighting interesting details about that particular breed. With the sheet music in hand, singing along with the CD, laughing at the imagery and learning about the different breeds of cats, it all adds up to a foot-tapping experience both entertaining and educational.
