fun read for kids, has just enough fairytale elements to appeal to certain kids while not so overwhelming that it would put off others.

Reminded me a bit of Shrek with our MC (main cat) being a very Donkey like character.

Nice illustrations to keep kids excited while still requiring lots of reading.

sassy mill cat and his hooman live at the mill. his hooman has a mediumk abusive papa that works him to the bone at said mill.

shapeshifting ogre moves into a castle nearby. said ogre devours mediumk absuive papa.

sassy mill cat and his happy-go-lucky hooman are broke ahh hell so they move into town to work at a bakery.

sassy mill cat learns to stand on his hind legs and heads to the nearby castle (cosplaying as his hooman’s servant) to try and figure out a way to make the princess fall in love with his hooman.

thas the whole story. is a very good story <3

minus 1 star because the king and queen annoy me and we’re never told how old any of the characters are so idk if any of their behaviours (in certain situations) were normal or nah :p

Nothing special.

Het sprookje van de gelaarsde kat dat op een grappige en toegankelijke manier geschreven is in dagboekvorm. De illustraties en verschillende lettertypegroottes zorgen voor een aantrekkelijke bladspiegel waardoor het boek ook makkelijk wegleest. De persoonlijkheid van de gelaarsde kat komt zeer sterk naar voren wat het verhaal af en toe een komisch element geeft.

I really enjoyed the first in this series and this has just the same charm and humour. I really appreciate a twist on a fairy tale. I think my class are gonna be buzzing when I take this in. We all know the value in a really good bread bun - nice to see that represented here.

Preferred Diary of a Big Bad Wolf, but a sweet, quick read.

[Sarah]

Fantastic read. Loved the story as well as the illustrations. Mr 5, Mr 7, and Mrs 40 all thoroughly enjoyed this.

Absolutely stinking adorable. Loved this cat and how he loved his master and tried to give him the world in the most chaotic way possible.

How just like a cat?

Super en echt héél leuk maar ik vertel je een ding (een spoiler dus).
Het kasteel van de reus is verslagen maar... er gaat iemand er in wonen (vreselijk) voor Graaf Meelsema.
