Editorial Reviews

“What you’d get if you combined Ed Emberley with If You Give A Mouse A Cookie….. The cat...is adorable, and I find the idea of a How To Draw book that’s ideal for reading aloud to be a very fascinating notion. Keep this one on your radar.” - Betsy Bird, A Fuse #8 Production, School Library Journal

“Fun, exuberant …. A satisfying mission to find happiness and fun; mission accomplished.” - Kirkus Reviews

The Book

Want to draw an adorable happy cat? This book makes it easy-peasy but wait... the cat suddenly is unhappy! Why? Oh nooooooo what can you to do to turn that frown upside down?

The author tries to pacify the unhappy cat by giving her a cool t-shirt, a stuffy, a skateboard, some friends, an airplane and some delicious pizza. Those appeasers makes her happy only temporarily but then her smile once again disappears. Whatever will cheer cat up and put a permanent smile on her face and in her heart?

This imaginative, creative, read-out-loud picture book is hilarious. Kids will love the fun vibe and parents will know the book is a winner after it is requested to be read again and again. The illustrations are fantastic and there are ample opportunities for interaction as kids are instructed how to draw different objects that may make an unhappy kitty contented. The author leaves a pathway for a sequel at the end of the book with the statement: "But now Chicken is sad." Bring it on...kid's will love to hear more I'm sure! I highly recommend this book.
