Stories where animals can think are often a great success with kids. Too bad we don't know more about the bird, the enemy, but the story seems like a cute entertaining one.

This children's book features the cat Pud as the protagonist. The expectation arises as to whether he will be able to return home after falling asleep in a truck. The first-person narrative style and colorful, distinctive illustrations are eye-catching highlights. Sounds like a good option for young children.

This is a great review, oftentimes children tends to learn more when messages are passed using animals as characters. Pud the cat has huge ambitions, even attempting to be a swimmer. The book is a great teach about animals and the sounds some of them make.

Nice review! I like how the book is written through the cats perspective. Like you say, it gives the reader something different to imagine. I also liked the idea of using "wannabe cat" here, sounds like the cat in the story wanted to be some greater version of cats. I know that doesn't make sense, but it sounded hilarious in my head, haha.

Very Nice review! I have to say, I love the idea of a 'wannabe cat.' Usually, cats are described as independent and uninterested in their humans (or at least uninspired), but Pud's story shows cats' much more sympathetic viewpoint.

Your vivid description of Pud's adventure really got me curious. I love the idea of Pud wanting to be more than just a house cat and the whole truck nap mishap. The first-person narrative style seems like a cool touch, giving a cat's perspective is something I never knew I needed.
The colorful illustrations sound like a blast, making it a treat for both kids and adults. I'm all in for a story that not only entertains but educates about animal sounds too! The mysterious bird situation is intriguing - I'm dying to know what happened there!
Even with the incomplete bird saga, your review convinced me to give it a go. It's awesome that you didn't spot any errors; good editing makes the reading experience so much better. I'm grabbing a copy for my niece and nephew – they're gonna love it!

Thank you for your good review. I love this adventure of Pud !
He clearly had a lot that he wanted to do and the unexpected happened!
This is life 🙌 A great way to prepare children for the unexpected early on , while educating them about the feline species. A wonderful combination 😍
The artwork is stunning!
Congratulations to the Author!

It sounds like a great book for children and I love that the author included colorful pictures so that when they read they have a picture of what the author is talking about. Great review.

I love that the book is educational to children as the author was able to write the type of sounds each animal makes. Great review, I also love that the book is recommendable to children from the age of four.
