Hello meautiful library guests
and
Welcome to the Mewton-Clawson Library at BBHQ
Thank mew for joining me in the stacks today, and this week I've just been taking it easy. Mew know being 21 is quite the challenge, I sleep even more than I did, and I didn't think that was possible! I miss the litter tray more often than not, and I yowl at completely random times just to keep things interesting and exciting, but that aside I don't think I'm doing so bad for 21! MOL
The P.A. keeps coming and checking on me while I'm sleeping, as apparently, I sleep so deeply, sometimes she's not sure if I'm still breathing, that is until I take in a great big snorting, gobbling breath and sound like an ancient tractor on cold start! MOL Oh, and did I mention my hearing isn't what it was, which I find a complete blessing, especially when Parlsey realises I found his credit card and have gone on a little book shopping spree! MOL
Anyhoo let's look at this week's top book pick.
Today the P.A. is also joining in Friday Fill-ins Blog Hop with the pawesome 15 & Meowing and Four-Legged Furballs.
1. I never know ___________________________.
2. I know I should _____________________________, but I don’t want to.
3. Is it strange that I enjoy _________?
4. _________ is my least favourite chore to do.
The P.A.'s answers are...
1. I never know what I'm going to make for the Crafting with Cats posts until I head into the craft room, and then it just all unfolds from there. Occasionally what I start out making doesn't work and I have to go back to the drawing board, but that's ok, it keeps life interesting.
2. I know I should learn lots of stuff, but I don’t want to. Not right now, maybe later.
3. Is it strange that I enjoy multiple hobbies? I don't think it is, but some do. I think it's nice to have many interests as when you do the same one thing all the time, for me it gets boring, if you have a varied selection of things to choose from, nothing gets boring, well that's my philosophy! LOL
4. Emptying the dishwasher is my least favourite chore to do. I really hate emptying the dishwasher, don't ask me why but I find it particularly loathsome and irritating, another thing I don't like is window cleaning, I do it under duress, but at the moment I am unable to do so because I damaged my right collar bone and shoulder last month moving a really heavy sofa. So at least I've escaped window duties for another few weeks! LOL
Let's see what I've got to show mew this time!
This week's top book pick is...
Mewton-Clawson Library Copy
by
Lindsay Donat
Here's the book blurb:
In this whimsical tale, two New York City apartment cats discover the importance of collaboration with a little help from some wise pigeons and a mean cockroach.
A link inside leads to recordings of original compositions performed by Juilliard graduates Raphael Zimmerman (clarinet) and Lindsay Donat (double bass). This multimedia experience is a great way for young readers and beginner / future musicians to engage with classical music and to understand themes useful for learning an instrument, such as teamwork and confidence.
Marchena is a silly, rambunctious cat who loves to show off his ability to jump up high in the air. Momo is a posh, cool and collected cat who is a bit jealous of Marchena's talent. However, when The Flying Cockroach invades the apartment, they must find a way to work together.
**Firstly I have to let mew all know that I was given a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair review**
Wow, this is my very first book with a bass and clarinet accompaniment, and what FUN!
Not only does this book have a supurr cute story about friendship and working together, it is filled with the most ameowzing colour illustrations featuring Marchena and Momo the cats, but mew have the extra option to also go to YouTube and read along, AND listen to the music.
Seriously, this book is genius, and every cat-loving child should have a copy. Classical mewsic and cats go paw in paw, and what better way to introduce a new mewsic medium to younger readers, such an epic idea!
This book would make a great gift for any occasion, I can't recommend it enough, I loved it!
And here's a fun fact about me, that mew don't know: I must admit I am a fan of classical mewsic and often play Strauss or Bach in the library.
Another Totally Top Paw Read & Mewsical Experience!
