REVIEW by LAWonder10:
This was a very good tale teaching children to rely on diligently practicing and to value his/her own self over objects or superstitions.

The illustration by Chiara Civati was colorful, precise, and large, to aid in capturing the child's attention.

At the end of the book is a list of words and terms related to the game of Golf. It will aid in teaching the game of golf to young students and in expanding vocabulary and understanding.

I offer a Four Stars rating.
This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This is my honest review.

  GUEST POST

Can you tell us the inspiration and accolades surrounding the new book, Alycat and the Tournament Tuesday, and the upcoming Book Launch Party event?
​
    The newest book of the Alycat series, Alycat and the Tournament Tuesday, will release on March 17, 2020. This book is the fourth installment of the Alycat series and has already won a Mom’s Choice Award and Readers’ Favorite 5-Star Review. In Tournament Tuesday, Alycat is in charge of bringing Bugsy’s lucky ball to his golf tournament, but mistakenly picks up the wrong ball. She chooses to show Bugsy that he doesn’t luck after all and creates a “new” lucky ball. Bugsy learns that he doesn’t need luck after all. He just needs to rely on his past training and practice to achieve his goals.
   This story is inspired by my son, Carter, who has played in the US Kids Golf World Championship in Pinehurst, NC at ages 6, 7, and 8. His drive, dedication, and determination to make his dreams come true inspired me to write a story about it to inspire little readers work hard and reach their goals.
      To celebrate the release, The Book Launch Party for Alycat and the Tournament Tuesday will take place on March 22nd at The Little Gym of Lafayette from 1:00-3:00 p.m. This event is free to public and everyone is invited. The community and other local businesses gather with activities, crafts, food, and drinks to celebrate the release and literature! The wonderful businesses that will be taking part in this fun event include The Frosted Apron, Lafayette Mom, Spavia, MC Photography, SmallCakes Carencro, Canes Chicken Fingers, The Music Box, Macaroni Kid, Animal Aid for Vermilion Area, and Donut Mix. There will also be door prizes, free play in The Little Gym, face painting, and much more! Even cat adoptions!
