Kiwi in Cat City Vicki Johnstone

My six-month-old grandson is already a cat lover, and I look forward to his being able to read this delightful book. Fortunately, I didn't have to wait to read it.

The author shows a beautiful understanding of a child's mind. What cat-loving child wouldn't want to follow his/her cat on its adventures? When the children turn into cats, too, their reactions to suddenly discovering perfect balance and the ability to leap great heights are as delightful as their bewilderment about how to lap milk.

This charming book is written with great imagination, and I am very much looking forward to Volume 2.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I began this book, but the immediate sense that an unusual mystery was unfolding kept me engaged right to the last page.

I don't usually read YA books, so I have no standards by which to judge it, and this may be a good thing, because this fine novel shouldn't be limited to one age group. If you enjoy myth, magic, and mystery, you will be well rewarded by reading this. Like me, you will probably be impatiently waiting for the next book in the series.
