Magic, a magical cat friend flows seamlessly with one page to the next. Its succinct and eloquent. It appeals to and attempts to harness imagination and desires of all children. It concisely paints a picture of life growing up for a young child in relationship to time, events and feelings. The colorful artwork tells the story without the need for long narratives. Its super fun and engaging. Kids can also relate to it more since lead author is one of them. Highly recommended for kids as a quick read or a bedtime routine. It will undoubtedly be a valuable addition to any Childs book collection.

Cute and simple
“Magic: a magical cat friend” was a story that introduces children to loyalty within the circumstances of life- pillarsof strength that see you through tough times. Both the illustrations and story were simple enough for young children. It was written in both English and Chinese. But it mentioned life circumstances that might open conversations a young child might not understand, like divorce. Otherwise, a cute story for children.

Worth cherishing.
It's the story about a magic cat Magic, and a girl Zoe. Magic enters her life, and accompanies her from baby, then school girl, and then disappears. She misses Magic. One day he shows up again. She realizes she will never be alone.
The feelings and mutual understanding hold two minds together. We all need these.
The words, pictures of the book illustrate these virtues. Our folks, friends, pets, and everything around us are all for us to treasure.

Sweet bilingual tale
Magic, the cat was there when she took her first steps and also when her parents were not together. But then can Magic stay with her all the time?
Sweet bilingual story with simple illustrations to explain to older children about remembering the special person even when they are not around.

Cute
This is a very cute story about a young girl and her cat Magic. The cat is there for the girl throughout her ups and downs, but one day suddenly disappears. The cat returns however when the girl learns that as long as she believes, Magic will always be there. This is a beautifully written and illustrated story about friendship and the power of belief. Great book!

adorable book
My kids like the story. It’s a very sweet story about a cat named magic. Magic is always there for a little girl as the little girl grows up. Whenever the little girl needs magic; magic shows up.

A Magic Trick!
This kept my young girl entertained on each page as we read it. Possibly the magic of the black cat! She was also inspired by the young age of one of the authors.

heartwarming story about the magic of connection
A heartwarming story about connection between a girl and a cat. The watercolor illustrations were whimsical and lovely. Even though we could only read the English, I loved that the book was bilingual!

Good message
This book turned out to be something I hadn't expected, and I'm glad. As you child re-reads it over the years, I suspect they will come away with a different message each time. There's a lot of love here, despite the sparse words.

Magic purrfect for kids
Magic, the magical cat appeared and reappeared after Zoe's parents divorce. The cat is the love and comfort it gave to people when they came in contact with it. The illustration is excellent. Great work.

A book about a girl and her cat
This book is a story about a girl and her cat named Magic, who’s by her side through all the little and big moments as she grows up. I especially loved that the story is written in both English and Chinese, which adds a unique touch. It’s the perfect short read for bedtime.
