Cats, Ninja and a turnip called Jack

Kitten Ninja  by Colleen AF Venable

Lila and the Jack-O'-Lantern: Halloween Comes to America by Nancy Churnin

by Leave a Comment

I like Halloween, kittens, and graphic novels. I found two different books that fit all categories, but in stages; neither has all the things I like.  I read both via on line and both are future publications, though the second is due late September 2024 so soon. Kitten Ninja by Colleen AF Venable and Marcie Colleen is a graphic novel I read online. It is due in late February 2024, but will be worth the wait. It is a cute, younger aimed book for those who […]

Rated C for Cute

Kitty Sweet Tooth Makes a Movie by Abby Denson

by Leave a Comment

A while back I read the first book in the Kitty Sweet Tooth series, called Kitty Sweet Tooth (appropriate I feel). The story was simple, a cat named Kitty Sweet Tooth helps run Pop-Pops movie theater. There are a few adventures, she makes lots of new friends and the movie theater takes on a new life. Then, it ended, letting us know a sequel was coming. I figured I would read it before it came out, but there was nothing for reader copies (online like […]

To Market to find a present for Mama Cat

Market Day (I Like to Read Comics) by Miranda Harmon

by Leave a Comment

I was looking at the online reader copies I have available to me, and up popped Market Day (I Like to Read Comics). I almost passed on this cute story that has all my pet peeves in reverse (more on that in a minute). But I decided to give Miranda Harmon’s January 2024 early reader a shot. Now either I missed it or the main characters are from another story, bit I never saw the names of the three main characters, but the publisher’s content gives […]

Junior High but with magic and glitter

Kira and the (Maybe) Space Princess: (A Graphic Novel) (Magic Girls) by Megan Brennan

by Leave a Comment

Kira and the (Maybe) Space Princess: (A Graphic Novel) (Magic Girls) by Megan Brennan is a three rounded from a 2.5 rating. This is because on one level this graphic novel is a cute, manga inspired, girl power story. It is a typical “in middle school and it stinks (only I didn’t say stinks)” story. We have the outsider looking in, but wants to be on the inside. However, on the other hand these are not the nicest people in the universe. And I say […]

Why you get that 4 AM caterwaul

Cat Dads: Your Guide to Feline Fatherhood by Alison Davies

by Leave a Comment

This might upset a few cat people, especially the ones who believe all cats are angels from heaven and need names like Lady La Boom-Boom, or Sir Wigglesbottom the Fourth, but I do not fawn over cats (dogs or babies). Because while I think they are cute, I know they are a lot of work. And this book, Cat Dads: Your Guide to Feline Fatherhood, proves it.  You need to know how to read their ear movements, their head butts, even why their butts are […]

It’s hairy, it’s scary, it has toe beans!

The Scariest Kitten in the World by Kate Messner

by Leave a Comment

The Scariest Kitten in the World is a hilarious picture book by Terrifying Kitten (and help from Kate Messner) and illustrated by MacKenzie Haley in the vein of Sesame Street’s The Monster at the End of This Book. The theme is we have a not-so-scary kitten and a not-too-terrifying haunted house that is explored by a few (unseen) kids/possible narrator. The narrator takes us slowly down a spooky corridor, to a spooky sound where we find the spooky… okay adorable little monster stands … okay […]
