One of the hottest publishing properties of the year . . . What makes Simon’s Cat so infinitely irresistible? There’s the cute factor, but what sets Tofield’s cartoons apart are the truly comic moments of pure cat-ness: the merciless patting at a half-dead fly, the single-minded determination, that weird little dance thing that segues seamlessly into a look of utter boredom.

A delightfully funny collection, Simon’s Cat vs. the World makes an excellent giftbook for cat lovers everywhere.

— Midwest Book Review

Funny and warm, the thing that really struck me as a cat lover was that this was obviously an animator who understood cats and had watched their behavior . . . Full of Tofield’s attention to the smallest idiosyncrasies that other cat owners will recognize.
