Cat Family Christmas by Lucy Brownridge is a very cute Christmas book. When my children were little I used to buy them at least one Christmas book a year. I would love to add this book to my collection of Christmas giving that I have done with my grandchildren. My two year old granddaughter would love this book. I cannot wait to see all the Christmas surprises you will see with this book. The. Illustrations are beautiful of the cats.

I adored this lovely little Christmas book! The illustrations are cozy, nostalgic and very sweet. Because I read this preview copy digitally, I was not able to lift the flaps and see the surprises inside. But, even without that, I loved Cat Christmas and I"m looking forward getting a hard copy to keep.

Creative advent countdown for cat lovers! Charming illustrations and little surprises behind every door. This would make a wonderful family daily activity in the countdown to Christmas.

Here is an adorable book for the advent season. I received an e galley of this title so did not have the fun of lifting the flaps. I am sure that kids will love doing that. This title is so sweetly illustrated and shows the anticipation of the cat family as they await the holiday and prepared.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

This is a sweet little countdown to Christmas book that follows the cat family as they take part in their various holiday traditions leading up to the big day. I LOVE the illustrations and look forward to picking up a physical copy to read with my daughters so they can lift the flaps.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC

I enjoyed this Christmas book. The illustrations are delightful and hark back to a past era. There is an old-fashioned innocence as the cat family gathers to complete all their tasks before Christmas Day. Each page is filled with detail. I can see kids pouring over this book, especially with all the lift the flaps. A beautiful book

What an utterly charming, cosy book. This will be lovely to curl up with, with my grandson in front of the fire in the build up to Christmas. Such beautiful illustrations of a very traditional Christmas in the cat family. You can almost smell the baking in the kitchen!! There are 24 pages so you could use it as a advent calendar. Lots of flaps to open and lots of detail to talk about.I have already put my pre-order in for this!!

This one is a beautifully illustrated, nostalgic Victorian era-esque children’s book that brings to mind the feel and coziness of Beatrix Potter and the like. This left the flap advent book has over 140 flaps and will have your little ones counting down to Christmas in style and will a whole lotta fun. With this one, you get to carol along the street and open all of the front doors the Cat Family carols at, peek inside their cupboards for some cozy treats, and more. So much fun and beautifully done.

Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books for the digital ARC!

This is such a cute book. The illustrations were wonderful and I liked the car touches they added in throughout the story (ex. having the cats get sugared mice for Christmas).

I sadly couldn't look through the flaps since this was a digital book but I'm sure they will be tons of fun for kids to look through. Overall this is a fun book for kids and cat lovers to have around Christmas time.

Cat Family Christmas
5 Fantastic Stars

What a delightful read!

I love the charming, cottage core style that reminisces of some of my favorite childhood books. I really enjoyed the traditional story and lovely illustrations that make this book work so well. I appreciate how the parents and kids, whether they are big or small, the whole family is involved. I found Cat Family Christmas does a great job getting the kids thinking of one's own Christmas traditions or providing inspiration to start their own traditions.

What a fun way to countdown the days of Christmas! I'd highly recommend and look forward to getting my copy. Thanks, NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group, for providing me with a digital ARC for an honest review.

This is a lovely book for young readers to count down the days to Christmas along with the Cat family.

The illustrations are beautiful and have a lovely vintage style.

Following the cat family in their traditions in the days before Christmas was absolutely charming.

Unfortunately I had a digital ARC copy so I could not lift the flaps as in a physical copy.

Extremely cute art work with a old fashioned feel. Story is nice with lots of nice cat Christmas puns… love a cat pun. I like the idea of a non traditional advents but there is no way any kids I know would last the count down with all the cute cats and the lift the flaps. I would have bought this as gift for a few little crazy cat folk I know but the use of mommy instead mummy puts me off. That being said would make a lovely Christmas Eve bedtime story for kids around 4-9 ages and lovely gift.
