Review By LAWonder10:

Alycat and the Cattywampus Wednesday is a fun portrayal of a weird experience in Alycat’s life. It will delight young children and will open up a fun conversation with those in the group listening or after a child has read the book.

This is a creative, tale which is sure to captivate young children’s short thought-span. The writing is clear, precise and well-done.

The Illustrations by Chiar a Civati are beatifully created. They are lustrous, full of bright colors. and darling characters.

The hard copy is of quality color, print and wormanship.

I offer a Five Stars rating or this book

*This book was gifted me with no pressure to post a positive review. This is my honest review.

Guest Post:

When writing a children’s book series, an author should create characters so that every reader can see themselves as one of the characters in the stories. In The Alycat Series, I strived to obtain that goal by creating a diverse set of characters with many different traits. Here are the character traits of the Alycat friends:

Alycat – loves her friends, creative, wears her heart on her sleeve

Spotty – devoted friend, picker-upper when someone is down, witty

Bugsy – reserved, determined to succeed, never wants to miss out on fun

Mom – loving, warm, reserved

Dad – jack of all trades, simple, compassionate

Luna – outgoing, great at gymnastics, thoughtful

Phoebe – meek, crafty, always smiling,

Roux – excellent storyteller, loves to draw, great sportsmanship

Harvey – Athletic, good friend,

Kit – Reserved, shy, nurturing

Eleonor – considerate, supportive friend, respectful

Sam – leader, strong will, confident

Mrs. Purry – sentimental, compassionate, likes structure

Dr. Katz – brilliant, caring, determined
