Start your review of The Bumper Book of Simon's Cat (Simon's Cat, #4.75)
The jokes where the cat is just being a cat--selfish, fickle, affectionate but with sharp claws, a fluffy ball of destruction--are the best. These are to the cat owner what Dilbert strips are to any office worker. They are loved because they are The Truth.

Simon's Cat is always fun, especially when you are familiar with cats yourself. There are tons of situations depicted in a hilarious and extremely accurate way, it's awesome!
However, I must say I prefer the animated videos to the book. Not that the latter one wouldn't be funny and entertaining as well, but in my opinion, it's just not quite as brilliant... Plus, the more pages I flipped, the less entertaining it seemed to be. Still good though.

I love Simon's cat, I dare any cat owner to read this book and not see stuff on the pages that their cat has done.
The drawing are brilliant, I think the best ones are those with so much detail in them.
This book also teaches you how to draw the characters, I tried but was rubbish.

Simon Tofield es un animador que vive con gatos que el adopta, los cuales utiliza como modelos apra sus tiras las cuales son muy buenas, llenas de emociones,situaciones y sobre todo TERNURA, y si, dan ganas de salir a adoptar un gato, pero uno se aguanta las ganas.
Always enjoyable, but I'm not sure there was new material in this book...
Humor blanco y adorable muy agradable con dibujos increíbles.
AMO LOS GATOS
Y amo Simon's Cat. Leer esta novela gráfica me tomó unos minutos. La caricatura de Simon Tofield es una de las más divertidas y refrescantes que he visto, desde esa primera vez cuando vi uno de los vídeos con la caricatura animada del autor. ¡No sabía que había libros gráficos! Me llevé una sorpresa al encontrarlos.
Cada página tiene una imagen de la caricatura relatando las aventuras, travesuras y peripecias de este gato y sus compañeros. Me reí mucho, me divertí y a cada momento te ...more

I decided to read this after I have seen multiple animated videos about Simon's Cat.
It was an adorable book, however I felt with most of the comics that it would have been better had it been made in an animation. Most of the jokes were still funny but lacked the punch that the animation has.
However I did enjoy seeing the 2 cats again. They are so adorable, smart and fun. Especially the older one, though the smaller one also takes his/her revenge on the older cat.

Simon's Cat es una verdadera sensación de Youtube (al menos para los amantes de los gatos), pero su contraparte impresa no es menos menos hilarante y un vivo retrato de la naturaleza de los gatos: su curiosidad insaciable, su instinto de cacería y su relación de amor/dominio con sus humanos. Toda persona que haya convivido con gatos reconocerá su ánimo lúdico que raya en lo perverso en las viñetas que nos presentan al gato de Simon u su compañero y rival Kitten Chaos. Simon Tofield es un agudo o

Más Simon's cat, qué voy a decir. Sus viñetas y vídeos son imprescindibles para cualquiera a quien le gusten los gatos.
Este libro es una recopilación de los tres que ya había publicados, y tiene un anexo con un paso a paso para dibujar a los personajes de las viñetas. Y como siempre, una descripción de los cuatro gatos de Simon.

Cats are Cats and Torfield captures the essence of being a cat perfectly. The drawings are wonderful in the way they tell stories in a few pictures simple or even just one. It made me regret that I can't have a cat.

A soaring epic of wordless feline proportions.
CUTE!
My new book! I just love it!!
you can't expect something more. nice funny book. but then a book about a cat can't be bad....
So cute! but the videos are funnier!
Charming, amusing, hilarious Simon's cat mannerism life captured to pantomime comics like story e-book.
The big cat and the tiny kitten are so adorable. Wanna hug that two little cutties in my own hands.
I like the videos on YouTube better.
sooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny
So cute and relaxing! :)
If you watched the videos of Simons cat, the book might be a little flat. Plenty of funny stuff and any cat person can totally picture any of the going ons in the book. A good quickie read.
Jako bych viděla sebe a svoje kočky :D:D
