Review
I loved this book. Leonards wit and creative language was something that an elementary student could enjoy, but also reach to middle grade readers. This book would particularly appeal to cat lovers. When recommending to my 5th grade students some of them I recommended reading it via audio book instead of a physical copy. Some of the humor and language would be hard for them to read and understand in a physical copy, but hearing it they would get it better. Reading it physically as an adult I did enjoy it thoroughly !
I know this may sound silly, but it reminds me of Spongebob in some ways, with how the humor is written for kids, however as an adult you appreciate some of the other humor. There was nothing in it that was inappropriate, but some of the jokes would go over some younger children's heads.… (mehr)
