TeddyBoy is Ready for the Polar Vortex

Wood for the fireplace, a warm pink hat, and a book...TeddyBoy is ready for the polar vortex.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day

“Ireland is a land of poets and legends, of dreamers and rebels.” --Nora Roberts 

TeddyBoy hopes one of your dreams comes true on Saint Paddy’s Day, because all humans deserve this gift.

TeddyBoy Reads Only the Best

I would like all you humans to read this book on how sensible (and awesome) cats are.  (This is written by Brit anthropologist, John Bradshaw.) You do realize that for every dog on the planet, there are 3 cats? I rest my case.

TeddyBoy Wishes You Love All Year Round

TeddyBoy would like to remind that the love of a good cat is priceless and to remind you of these words from Irish poet, W. B. Yeats.  (Because to be Irish is to write poetry about everything.)

TeddyBoy loves Tintin

TeddyBoy thinks he and Tintin would have had loads of fun if they could have hung out together.

TeddyBoy Reviews, The Three Robbers

Tomi Ungerer, the Alsatian writer, wrote wonderful children’s books.  Maurice Sendak called him one of the greatest children’s writers AND illustrators.  

There’s a museum in Strasbourg, France totally dedicated to him.  Born in France, he lived the US as well, working as a graphic artist for some of the leading magazines.  He supported the Civil Rights Movement and was against the Vietnam War.   He lived on a rural farm in Nova Scotia for a while, but eventually moved to Cork, Ireland and divided his time between there and France.  He died just a couple of week ago. The NY Times wrote an appreciation of him:  https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/23/books/review/tomi-ungerer-appreciation.html

TeddyBoy wrote a PawReview of one his classics, The Three Robbers.  He was so enchanted with the book that he donned a feline mask!  How cool is that.
