Title: Cattitude | Author: Bianca Schulze | Illustrator: Samara Hardy | Genre: Picture Book | Publisher: Clever Publishing  | Release Date: March 2024 | ISBN: 9781954738362

Publisher’s Book Summary: Meet Cleo, a cat with an attitude—and she’s not afraid to show it! Cleo is a misunderstood feline with a penchant for mischief and a heart of gold. Her quirks and antics reveal a cat who marches to the beat of her own drum. From hiding behind bookshelves to getting stuck in tight spots, Cleo’s adventures teach her family valuable lessons about love, patience, and the true meaning of companionship. Get ready for a heartwarming tale of feline charm and the power of unconditional love. Cleo proves that behind every mischievous whisker lies a world of affection and loyalty.

My Thoughts: From the talented duo behind the delightful Dragon series comes a brand new picture book full of fuzzy, furry fun. Cleo, the cat, can push her family to their limits, but she’s splendid in her own unique ways. Cattitude tells the tale of a cat with a hilariously haughty attitude, but through the loving eyes of an adoring, young cat-lover. Cleo may wreak havoc in the household, but there is always a purr-fectly good reason according to the protagonist. The compassionate voice of the protagonist is so lovely to read — a constant stream of love and empathy, even though the errors of Cleo’s ways are obvious to all.

The detailed illustrations are rich with patterns and hidden finds that make each page a visual treat. Cattitude is a fun read aloud — a sweet and hilarious story that will ring true to cat lovers and is sure to bring a smile to even the most dedicated dog people. Plus, FREE bonus activities are available to supplement the reading experience.
