Goodreads

Get ready for a rousing storytime with this energetic, purr-fect
picture book featuring Atticus the amazing cat-ticus!

The rhyming and rollicking text brings you into the day in the life of this spirited, loveable cat. The question and answer format will be a big hit with the littles. The illustrations are bold and bright. The scribbly depiction of Atticus is both realistic in its depiction of cat behavior and yet whimsical in spirit! A perfect balance of text with uncluttered layouts that show “just” the right amount of illustrations leaving plenty of soothing, calm space that offsets the actions of the endearing cat!

A definite cream nomination, I hope to see Atticus back in a follow up picture book.
An enjoyable read for all ages. And, an amazing must-read for cat lovers and children ages 3 and up!
