For children aged 4-8. A fun and educational story promoting empathy and understanding, showcasing how literature can convey important messages in an accessible way.

Fun picture and rhyme book for young children. The artwork is eye catching. The rhyming and words are easy to follow. The story is an opportunity to enjoy a good book with a child. But also the opportunity to chat about how appearances can be deceptive, and that we should be kind and not judge people in-necessarily. Thank you to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for the ARC.

I read this book to my little neice and she loved it! Beautifully illustrated and cute story that teaches you that you shouldn't judge someone because of how they look.

A delightful and thoughtful approach to the lesson of not judging by appearances or on first impressions! A group of children (and a parade of cats) learn that first look doesn't mean accuracy. Cheerfully illustrated and rhyming to encourage comprehension and recall.

I absolutely loved this. It was short and sweet with amazing illustrations and a perfect rhyme.

This one really took me back to children's books when I was small and I can see it becoming a quick classic for years to come.

The story was charming and wholesome in ways many books aren't today and even as an adult this is going to become a yearly autumnal read that I will recommend to everyone.

I would give 6 starts if I could.
