Cat's Cradle"A free wheeling vehicle . . . an unforgettable ride " The New York Times Cat's Cradle is Kurt Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a midget as the protagonist, a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer, and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny. A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation
"A free-wheeling vehicle . . . an unforgettable ride "--The New York TimesCat's Cradle is Kurt Vonnegut's satirical commentary on modern man and his madness. An apocalyptic tale of this planet's ultimate fate, it features a midget as the protagonist, a complete, original theology created by a calypso singer, and a vision of the future that is at once blackly fatalistic and hilariously funny. A book that left an indelible mark on an entire generation of readers, Cat's Cradle is one of the twentieth century's most important works--and Vonnegut at his very best. " Vonnegut is] an unimitative and inimitable social satirist."--Harper's Magazine
"Our finest black-humorist . . . We laugh in self-defense."--Atlantic Monthly

Informative and fun book
Format: Hardcover
The story itself is very informative and playful in its approach to helping the reader understand the process of selecting and training service dogs. The star that was knocked off is not reflective of the product, but the shipping process or the packaging department which delivered another book with a ripped dust jacket. In reality the intended recipient will take that off anyway, so I am not returning it. It seems wasteful. However, if this gift was intended for anyone other than a family member, I would have. Amazon needs to train its packaging departments are better. But I suppose as long as we all keep buying, they will not.

Inspiring story and gorgeous illustrations
Format: Hardcover
Such an inspiring story about life, love, courage and all of the people that work so hard to train and care for service dogs. The deep bond between a service dog and their owner is such a beautiful thing to see. I love seeing people living their best life with their service dogs out in public and when I read this book I felt it was the perfect way to spread awareness and hope especially to young kids. I highly recommend this book and I hope Canine Companions comes out with more in the future either following Andy’s life or maybe from a childs perspective who’s parents adopt a canine companions dog and how her/his life improves as a result.
