Mom's Review
We loved Schulze's Dragon books, and we love cats, so we had high expectations for Cattitude. They were absolutely met - and then some!
Cattitude is an adorable and funny story about a little boy's cat, Cleo. She doesn't want to socialize with strangers, she destroys the house inadvertently, and she joins him at bedtime, giving long "I love you" blinks. The home is filled with books, plants, art supply messes, and at least one wall hanging; I think this family could be us!
Cleo the cat is a sweet, fluffy pet who wants to be near the action, but is also a bit shy. This results in everyone but the little boy getting someone aggravated by her behavior. The little boy -who is clearly her main human- is patient and understanding. The special bond between boy and cat is palpable. Not only does the story invite you in to an extremely relatable experience, but the illustrations are so fun and cute that the reader is visually enveloped in the boy’s welcoming home.
Cattitude just made me happy to read and laugh at. It is perfect for any cat lover!
