And now, for a book that's actually good

Two weeks ago, I received an email from a woman who said her five-year-old daughter is obsessed with Winston. She said that found him via Cuteoverload and follow him mostly on YouTube, so any anxiety I had about corrupting a babe with my foul mouth and fouler mind was immediately quelled. Anyway, she said her daughter, Ramona (best name for a child ever!) wrote a book about Winston and she wanted to send it to him. So she did and oh my god, it's so amazing. First of all, here's the cover letter:

Lollipop-head cat! I don't even know what that means, but I love it! It makes me want to lick my cat's face! Anyway, full scans of this new literary masterpiece are after the jump:

This is so awesome for, like 500,000 reasons (the fact that this five-year-old can draw consistently over five pages, Winston's little dark spot being noted, his Calgon-take-me-away bath stance, etc.), but my favorite thing about it is the last page. I don't think this is Ramona's precious way of saying that Winston takes after his daddies -- it's pure imagination and perhaps wishful thinking. I remember when I had imagination and wishes! I kinda wish Ramona were running the show here -- Winston might be a lot more active and exciting if that were the case.

I'm not so sure that he agrees, though.

That last photo of "lollipop-head cat" in bed with the book, making eye contact at the camera is classic. RAMONA ROCKS!

Oh man, that is golden. I love it! I want to be 5 years old again.

And Winston's reaction is also hilarious.

I love that even cynical, sarcastic you is still touched by the imagination of a five year old. I knew you were still a big ol' ball of fluffy goodness on the inside!

That is the cutest thing.

Winston is so packed with "angry old man" expressions :)

Absolutely adorable!! And yes, Ramona is a fantastic name. Very whimsical. I hope there are more Winston stories to come!! (and maybe a Rudy one too?)

As a kindergarten teacher, this makes me so very happy :o)

And as a kindergarten teacher, I'm sorry that my previous post was grammatically incorrect haha.

Winston seems uninspired. Where is your heart, Winnie?!

[skyduster]

Ramona is the best! great book.

[sweetjuno]

This is possibly the most adorable thing I've ever seen. As a Winston fan myself, I've sometimes wondered if I should pen a book as a paean to him, but then Ramona beat me to it!

I'm not sure what makes me happiest here? A child named Ramona, a book about Winston or the pictures of Winston looking at his book.

"Winston: The Unauthorized Biography!". I can tell he objects to Ramona's portrait of him as a vegan, juggler who embraces his lollipop-likeness. Just tell him no press is bad press.

[Philip]

I loved this entry. Like the last person said, what makes me happiest here? The 5-year old Ramona, the book she wrote about Your Awesome Cat Winston, or Winston actually reading it? I am sure you've made Ramona happy as you have this guy here too!

That...is so precious.

[Rachael]

That is so freaking awesome.

[Johari]

Please tell me you have a picture (or better yet, footage) of Winston eating spaghetti.

[Heather]

that is absolutely adorable, and all i can say is Winston needs to meet my cat Willow who is 20 pounds of pure adorable crazy. All I can say is, if she met the "I can has cheezburger" cat she would probably eat him, and then ask to be brushed...

[Heather]

wow, drunk posting ftw!!! all your base belong to me

[Jenn]

This is the cutest fucking post EVER.
