Camilla Gryski's Cat's Cradle: A Book of String Games1 review
Camilla Gryski
Kids Can Press, Ltd., 1995
Wonderful String Figures
I have loved Camilla Gryski's string figure books. They are what got my clumsy fingers working and I've been hooked on string figures ever since. I've been buying, and re-buying her books for 15 - 20 years.

Maurice Baring
House of Stratus, 2001
A classic book that everybody should read.
my dad told me to read this book and I looked at him like he was crazy. I hadn't read a book any harder than Harry Potter and MAD magazine for the last few yeats. I agreed to give it a try and sat down and read the back, this sounds like an intersesting book so a started to read. After about an hour of reading it I realized that I couldn't put the book down. One thing about Cats Cradle is that ...

Funpax: Cat's Cradle1 review
DK Publishing
DK CHILDREN, 1998
Favorite Game as a Child
Introduce this game to your children and they will have hours of fun. Perfect for long car rides and it encourages cooperation as some of the games take as many as six hands for the snowflake pattern.
The "cat's cradle thread" comes with a book (that has some funny pictures of a cat and the author has a subtle sense of humor) showing all the string games.
"There are some string patterns ...

String Figures and How to Make Them: A Study of Cat's Cradle in Many Lands11 reviews
Caroline F. Jayne
Dover Publications, 1962
excellent and detailed
Once you master the language of manipulating the string--with a little patience-- you'll find the explanations easy to follow. The selection of string figures was wonderful. A strong collection --a legacy that has travelled throughout the world. Pass it along to your children.

Cat's Cradle, Owl's Eyes: A Book of String Games4 reviews
Camilla Gryski, Tom Sankey (Illustrator)
William Morrow, 1984
Excellent guide to an old folk favorite
Camilla Gryski does an excellent job of taking her readers step by step through the process of creating these figures and playing these games. More than any other books I have used on the topic, her directions will allow those who need words, those who need drawings, and those who need the sequence of steps to follow along and be successful. This book is one of three in her series on string ...

Cat's Cradles and Other String Figures1 review
Joost Elffers, Michael Schuyt
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1980
The only string figure book I've found with photographs
I think this book contains relatively clear instructions and features photographs rather than drawings. It contains many figures and more than a few games for two people.

Silhouette, 1995
Cat's Cradle
I liked the storyline. A retired professional daredevil, Dillon, and the woman caretaker, Cat, of his hometown vacation home in the Sierrra's are the main characters. He goes home after a terrible accident in his last motorcycle jump. Cat is the older sister of his high school sweetheart, Adora, who is just that-his high school sweetheart. It has been 16 years since high school and he was ...

Cat's Cradle: Times Crucible (The New Doctor Who Adventures) 2 reviews
Marc Platt
London Bridge (Mm), 1992
The past and the present in collision
With the TARDIS under attack, the unexpected collision with an early time vessel from Gallifrey's past seemingly destroys the TARDIS and Ace awakes in a strange city under attack from a thing known as "the Process"... Written by Marc Platt, probably best known to Doctor Who fans as the scripter of the late classic 'Ghost Light', this book is the first in the very loose Cat's Cradle trilogy and ...

Caedmon, 2007
Audio Vonnegut at its Best
was saddened to hear last year of the death of Kurt Vonnegut. He was an author with cynical wit and satiric voice. From his short stories to his novels, his rye wit gave readers and listeners a humor as well as an interest yarn.
In this audio version, veteran audio narrator Tony Roberts is taken to task with all the audio skills he has with this tale of earth's fate . . . and he succeeds very ...

A Man Without a Country (Unabridged)190 reviews

Vonnegut Never Fails
"A Man Without A Country" is a must read for anyone who loves Mr. Vonnegut. It is a collection of short essays and writings published 2 years before his death. Written in true Vonnegut fashion, I believe he is on point with his satire and knowledge of the world more then ever. He is as sharp as knife with his commentary, and convincing as hell, using stories from history to back up his words. It ...

Chieko N. Okazaki
Bookcraft, 1993
Printed on jacket flap:
"In the hands of Chieko Okazaki an ordinary scrap of string evolves into a delightful cat's cradle pattern. With equal expertise and enthusiasm she radiates her testimony of the brightness of hope that the gospel brings.
A bumper sticker she quotes could well be a summary of this collection of addresses. 'Hard-hat construction area: christian under construction'. She adds: 'We're all ...

Kurt Vonnegut
Henry Holt & Co, 1963
As relevant today as it was in the past
The 60's paranoia doesn't get more sharp, more funny and more smart than Kurt Vonnegut's "Cat's Cradle". But, unfortunately, this portray is still somehow up to date than ever. Published early in that decade, this novel concerns on the fear of a chemical war and the end of the world. One of the characters is a scientist who fathered the Atomic Bomb and also developed something called `ice-nice' ...

William W. Johnstone
Zebra, 1986
A terrifying tale ....
Here's the description from the back of this book to help you decide if this book is for you: "No one knew where she had come from. She was just a scrap of a girl clinging to a black cat with eerie yellow eyes. A lost child or an orphan, maybe. It was a miracle she had survived on Eden Mountain at all. Suddenly strange things began to happen in placid Ruger County, bizarre killings that the ...

Andrew Cartmel
London Bridge (Mm), 1992
Grim reality
The future is a grim place in CAT'S CRADLE: WARHEAD. Breathing is difficult without the use of special masks. Police silently patrol the night streets in their hovercars. Shady corporations comb the local parks and sidewalks looking for unclaimed bodies (some still living) to perform dastardly experiments upon. Only one man and his contractually obligated silver cat can save the human race ...

This book was awesome!
I LOVED this book! It was easy to follow but had so many twists. Every time I thought I figured it out, there would be another twist! I just finished reading it last night, and had to read for three hours straight because I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend it!
