MY REVIEW
I absolutely loved adding Alycat and the Sunday Scaries to my children’s book collection and my daughter absolutely loved it! Alycat is a cutie for sure and she is stressed and worried about Monday and since it is a Sunday her mom tells her to just enjoy her Sunday outdoors with her friends. Along the way Alycat and her kitten friends find others in situations that make them feel scared and Alycat helps them out along the way. The book was adorable and ends perfectly as it teaches friendship, encouragement, imagination and creativity in problem-solving plus there is a fun activity in the back sharing ten tips for a successful lemonade stand! So cute and I will be looking for more books in this series to add to my kids book collection!

This sounds like a super cute book. I know back to school anxiety is a real issue for some kids. Depending on the level of anxiety, it can be debilitating for some kids. Hopefully, this book will help kids realize school isn’t so scary.

Sunday’s are no longer that scary to me because I’m retired – and don’t have to fear the Mondays
Dana
My Sunday’s aren’t scarey because I have 3 cats to wake up and cuddle

Sleeping in – is always a way to keep the scaries at bay

Sleeping in late helps with the scaries

Today is Sunday and it’s finally not so scary because it’s warmer but it’s still a good day to snuggle w/my cats (currently 2 of my 3 are in my lap)

Looks like it was a scary Monday for the animals in the Dallas zoo (Eclipse) – I used eclipse glasses and enjoyed it!

Pet cuddles keeps the scaries away

Sunday scaries are on Friday’s for me: condo board meetings. There’s no way of avoiding them but at least it’s “just” monthly
Dana
A nice walk in a nature helps
Dana
Going birding today to keep the scaries away

Got one kitty snuggling w/me
