Jednoduchý příběh a krásně ilustrovaná knížka. Je kraťoučká a ideální na rychlé zabavení pozornosti.

Cute story of two friends imagining being able to give each other the best gifts...and appreciating the gift of time together.

[Becky · Rating 3 out of 5]

First sentence: Tom and Mot were best friends. Today was Tom and Mot's birthday.

Premise/plot: Tom and Mot are cats who are best, best friends. They share a birthday. Tom gives Mot a feather. Mot gives Tom a marble. The two use their imaginations throughout the book. The presents are very abstract.

My thoughts: I hoped to enjoy this one. I think it is still enjoyable if your expectations are reasonable. It is very abstract, in my opinion. The two presents represent very abstract, yet vibrantly creative and imaginative concepts. These two know each other very well. They "speak the same love language" if you will. These are much-appreciated gift. Not just a marble. Not just a feather.

This heartwarming story about two cats and their special day is so wholesome. What would you gift a dear friend if you could?

My two-year-old absolutely loves this book! We spend every page pointing out the things and animals we read about. The illustrations are so cute!

Title first published in Great Britain in 2022 and the USA in 2023. Pete Horacek is a favorite illustrator of mine I did not care for the story, yes, it was the celebration of the two cat’s birthday, the imagination connected to each of the gifts didn’t work into a narrative for me. I did like the illustration of the whale with the fishes.
