"Pud- The WANNABE Cat" by Brian Murphy is a book in which a cat just wants to do more things rather than just being a cat. Congratulations on the BOTD. This book is for children. It has a beautiful picture illustration which makes it attractive to young readers. A great review indeed!

Pud's adventurous attempt to live an ambitious life leads him to an unknown path far from his family, and how he faces this challenge is worth reading this fabulous story.

"Pud- The WANNABE Cat" by Brian Murphy is a story of a cat who is lost and is finding her way through the world. Pud always wanted to be more than just a house cat, and this incident gives it a chance. I like the author's viewpoint for the story and how the story is written as a viewpoint of a cat. A great and informative review. Thank you!

Exploring outside of our comfort zones exposes us to a variety of experiences. The exposure allows us to find that we are capable of becoming who we want to be.

Pud - The wannabe cat was an excellent children's book. The cat was very curious and loved to wannabe all things he was not like brave, not frightened, and could be the best he could be. The cat was a very family oriented cat, and he loved his family a lot. Cat's are a mystery to me because you can never tell what they plan to do next. I love reading children's books because they help me to decide what book to buy for my niece. The author of this book is a good writer and keeps you intrigued and keeps you wanting to know what is next.

I like your review, it's interesting, you paid attention to the sounds described, to the unique perspective of the cat and how this book will be received by children. A nice story that sparks a child's imagination, makes you look at things from a different point of view and to love and take care of animals. And this book has also interesting and nice illustrations.

“Pud – The Wannabe Cat” by Brian Murphy is a story about Pud the cat that lives with his family: Sue, Ben and Theo. Pud is the Wannabe Cat because there are many things others can do that he wants to do. Theo is a good swimmer so Pud wants to be one too. One day he fell asleep in the truck bed of the man that mows the lawn. When he awoke, he had no idea where he was so he jumped to the ground and began to explore the area and figure out how he could find his way home. The remainder of the story covered his experiences while finding his way home. He fell in the creek and began to swim until he saw a branch floating on the water and he climbed on. He believed the creek would take him home but an eagle almost ended Pud’s journey but Pud escaped and ran into the woods. It took two days for Pud to make it home and his family was so happy to see him. A good story for young children.

Brian Murphy's 'Pud- The WANNABE Cat' is a delightful journey through the eyes of Pud, a cat with aspirations beyond being just a house cat. The first-person narrative style adds a unique charm, and the colorful illustrations make this a captivating read for both children and adults. Congrats.
