*waves paw*

Furstly, sorry I'm late, the P.A. came down with a nasty cold on Thursday. But better late than neffur is what I say! MOL

Anyhoo, as mew know, it's the countdown to Valentine's Day this week, so I thought I'd share one of my favourite posts from 2018. When I was completely surprised by the arrival of several anonymouse Valentine's cards, read on to see what happened...
OH MY GOSH! OH MY CAT!  I'm so excited I can barely contain myself... mew'll neffur believe it, but I've neffur had a Valentine's card, like effur and then today I got five!  Can mew believe it?

I got five cards from mystery admirers, I'm speechless!

Meanwhile, Parsley and Basil were having a private conversation under the stairs.

"Dude, has she got the cards?" Basil asked in a hushed tone.

"Yes, and she thinks they're from her admirers at the pole-dancing club!" Parsley smiled.

"Brilliant dude, and is she happy?" Basil asked.

"Dude, she's on cloud cuckoo and began saying something about getting books instead of cards next year!" Parsley chuckled.

"That'd be right!" Basil replied grinning. "Let's see if she's this happy when we ambush her with an intervention next week!"

Here Comes Valentine Cat

by

Deborah Underwood


Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:

Cat does NOT like Valentine's Day. It's much too mushy, and no way is he making a valentine for anyone- especially not his new neighbour, Dog. 

Dog refuses to respect the fence: he keeps tossing over old bones and a hitting Cat in the head! But just as Cat's about to send Dog an angry "valentine" telling him exactly what he can do with his bones, Dog throws a ball over the fence.

Now I don't think I've reviewed anything fur this age group before, normally as mew know I'm all fur a cozy mystery or two and a gritty thriller, or a bit of sci-fi or even some far-out fantasy adventure, but only if its got cats in.  But while I was purrusing Amazon looking fur something to share with mew today, I saw the cover and I was smitten immediately by it.

Even though book this is fur much younger readers, ages 3 - 5 to be exact, I thought it was the cutest thing effur!

Now call me an old grump; which until I received all my beautiful valentines cards this morning I was... so I could relate to Cat who's not a fan of the loved up day on February the 14th!

The books starts with the narrator asking Cat if he has any valentines day plans and Cat replies with a picture of a heart with a line through it. The 'script' is really sweet with a lovely message and Cat's pictures just bring it all alive.

The illustrations are so cute, in fact effurything about this book is adorably cute, so much so that I'm actually having a complete cuteness meltdown MOL, but seriously if mew have children or grandchildren, nieces, nephews or godchildren this little book is so much fun and really brings a smile.

If that's not wurth getting it fur, then I can't think of anything else to say.

Except that, there are other books in series, which no doubt I'll share with mew at some point throughout the year.

Sadly it's time fur me to say BFN or bye-fur-now as mew know the drill, so many books, so little time and don't furget that I'll be back next week with another specially paw-picked book just fur mew. And don't furget to stop by my book review page to catch up on any that mew may have missed.

Happy reading or listening
