MY REVIEW
I hvae to admit that I am so excited to have been given the chance to review Cattitude by author Bianca Shulze as it is the perfect addition to my children’s book collection. It’s a wonderful children’s book and one that my youngest daughter absolutely fell in love with as she is like me and we both love cats and especially our family cat Shadow. Reading Cattitude and soaking in all of the beautiful illustrations found throughout the book, has kept us both hooked and reading this one each night. You may be wondering why we are enjoying it so much…. well that’s simple. Read below to see what I think.
Cattitude is a story about Cleo and the family that she lives with, with her closest companion being the young son in the story. It’s all about how people tend to think that Cleo has a bad attitude, but it really comes down to the fact that Cleo is misunderstood and cat owners will totally relate to this one. Cleo is a fun, curious cat that gets into a bit of trouble from time to time but the end result is that she is a loved ajd cared for member of the family. Like Cleo’s young owner says…..Cleo may have an attitude but it’s a catitude and he wouldn’t have it any other way! That is exactly how I feel about my own cat! I love their independence, curiousness and attitude and that is what Cleo is full of and her antics create a fun story that your child will want to read time and time again. The illustrations bring the story to life and this is a must-add addition to your child’s reading line up! Get your copy of Cattitude Today!

I have a cat and she can definitely have a catitude. Sometimes she doesn’t want pets and will try to bite at me. Other times she is making biscuits on my blanket demanding attention.
