"Tofield's cartoons stand tall-hilarious, loving observations of a
privileged and bossy housecat...What elevates Tofield's simple but
expressive line drawings above the large litter of competing
kitties is his keen grasp of cartoon physics and comedy cat antics.
With a pitch-perfect pen, he captures the simple, realistic
acrobatics of cats tumbling with toys or gracefully stretching out
in the sun, and chronicles their adventures in pantomime stripes
that pit them against household objects, their owner, and each
other. Cat owners and aficionados will have several delighted "Yes,
cats really do that " reactions reading this."
--"Publishers Weekly" (review)
""Simon's Cat in Kitten Chaos" is the third book in a series of
print cartoon books tied to Tofield's Simon's Cat YouTube channel,
which has more than 30 of his charmingly illustrated cat
cartoons."
--"Publishers Weekly" (feature)
"The phenomenon that is "Simon's Cat" has hit an all time high The
YouTube videos of the cartoon feline have reached 200 million views
online, and the latest film, which is currently both the No. 1
'Most Liked' and 'Most Viewed' film on YouTube, received a million
views in just two days. "Simon's Cat" has continued to evolve with
new characters and storylines that every cat owner can relate to
"
--"Your Cat"
"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."
--"The Irish Times"
"Through silly pranks and stupendous surprises, the story of
Simon's cat and the kitten is truly a great one. And the greatest
surprise yet? The entire book is in pictures "
--"National Geographic Kids" Dog Eared Book Blog
""Simon's Cat in Kitten Chaos" continues the tradition of
whimsically wordless, black-and-white cartoons about the antics of
the playful, pushy, and ever-hungry pet...Although "Simon's Cat in
Kitten Chaos" inevitably invites comparison to the popular
newspaper comic character Garfield (and "the world's cutest kitten"
Nermal), the wordless, often action-filled panels are quite
different in that they feature pure, rambunctious feline behavior,
as any cat owners can attest--any anthropomorphic elements (such as
the cat or the kitten pointing to their open mouths while hungry)
are just what real cats would do if they could The gentle humor of
"Simon's Cat in Kitten Chaos" makes it a choice gift for cat lovers
everywhere."
--"Midwest Book Review"
"If you need something to lighten your mood today, there's a new
comic book out for cat lovers and lovers of cat lovers."
--"Parents.com"
"Laugh until your sides ache with "Simon's Cat in Kitten Chaos," a

--"National Examiner"
With over two hundred million hits on YouTube, "Simon's Cat" is a

fallen for this adorable but anarchic feline who will do just about
anything to be fed. Simon Tofield's beautiful drawings and warm
humor come alive on the page in this irresistibly charming book--an
outgrowth of the enormously popular short films featured on
YouTube.
Like all great cartoon creations, from Peanuts to Asterix, from
