Festive greetings library guests 

and 

Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ on Catmas Eve!

Thank mew for joining me in the stacks today, well actually we're not in the stacks today as I'm in the sitting room in front of the fire. The tree is up and looks supurr sparkly and we've got our epically epic Catmas tree scratcher in the catservatory, which the heathens have been rioting over, check out the Tiktok video, they are total hooligans!

I do hope mew are all having a supurr festive day, and I just wanted to say thank mew furry much for joining me every week in the Mewton-Clawson Library for my book reviews, mew don't know how much it means to an old, crotchety lady cat like myself.

The library mice are having a little gathering later, mew will find them in the 'P' aisle for PAWTY! So if mew want to join them the library is open.

4. If I were Santa, I would want someone to leave me a plate full of double choc chip cookies and a wee nip of orange flavoured vodka with a splash of lemonade on Christmas Eve.

Squishy McFluff
Secret Santa

       Here's a little snippet of the book blurb:      

From the funniest voice in young fiction today, this is the festive fourth book in this fantastically successful new series for 4-6-year-old readers about Ava and her imaginary cat, in hilarious rhyming text with adorable illustrations.

This is my very first Squishy McFluff book, there are seven in the series and I can why they are so popular.

Squishy is an invisible cat, and although it doesn't explain his invisibleness within the book, the blurb above says he's an imaginary cat, but I will check our earlier volumes to find out more. 

The narrative is rhyming and fun, and the illustrations are epically cute and this purrticular Catmas story is really sweet; a gorgeous festive tale.

As the book is only 80 pages with illustrations my review is somewhat small today, but don't let that detract from the fun that is Squishy McFluff, I would recommend this to all cat lovers and it would be a supurr gift for younger readers and just absolutely purrfect for Catmas.

Another TOP PAW read!

I really hope mew enjoy the book as much as I did if mew decide to read it.

It's time for me to say BFN or bye-for-now as mew know the drill, so many books, so little time and I'll be back in the New Year, on the 7th January with another specially paw-picked book just for mew, and don't furget that all my previous reviews can be found on my Book Review page.

Until next time...

Meowy Catmas from Amber
Much love

Amber
