Edward Lear's nonsense poem about two unlikely sweethearts-an elegant owl and a beautiful cat-has found a perfect match in artist Jan Brett. She traveled to the Caribbean (the land where the Bong-tree grows, perhaps?) to research her illustrations as well as the settings, costume details, plants, and fish native to the area. Readers can follow an illustrated subplot of two yellow fish who also fall in love under the pea-green boat. A charming treatment of a classic children's poem.

This book is wonderful . While the story is old, the illustrations are fresh and brilliant. There is the story of thee Owl and the Pussycat, but down below in the sea, the fishes have a story too. Every page has a border, of exotic tropical leaves and each turn of the page shows a different border.

I don't know who wrote the synopsis, but that is totally wrong. It is the love story of an Owl and a Cat who go to the land where the bong trees grown to get married.
