The illustrations in this short story are bold, imaginative, and can open up to lots of creativity as you read this book to your kids. Being a cat lover, I was immediately drawn to this book. I have to admit, though, that the rhyming isn’t as rhythmic as it should be, but I still recommend this book. There is a lot to discover in the pictures and in the words. I loved the comfortable ending. I received an advanced copy for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.

I really love the illustrations in this book. I like the concept of cats dreaming. However, I found the text/poetry to be very clunky and unenjoyable. To earn my five stars, I would've maybe simplified the text, and made it prose instead of poetry. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This book Amazing!
My daughter loved this book, it was interesting, and it encouraged her to read!
My only complaint is that it was very short, and my daughter read it in seconds!
Other than that, it was a great book!

What a fun, imaginative, beautiful read!
The prose is sure to stoke many a little's imagination, expand their vocabulary, pique their curiosity, make them ask (more) questions and maybe even fall in love with cats and ask for them as a pet.
The illustrations are beautifully done. The colors are bold and bright and the art style is endearing.
Overall, it's an informative, engaging, attractive read for littles.
I'd definitely flip through the book just by myself to relish the beautiful prose and wonderful illustrations, but I'd share it with my little one, too. It's that good.
Voluntarily reviewed after reading a free ARC.
Definitely highly recommended! I'd give more stars if I could.
