Charlie and the Catmas Tree

Rate this book
Christmas time was near, and seven-year-old Emmy Taylor only wanted one thing from a sweet, adorable, cuddly kitty. Now, she didn't ask for any ordinary kitty. She wanted it to have black fur with white paws, orange eyes, and a tiny white mustache. Emmy made sure to draw a picture on the bottom of every letter she'd written to Santa so he would know exactly what her kitty, "Charlie" should look like. Little did she know, a new kitty could be very mischievous! Christmas morning would bring lots of extra laughs and love for the Taylor family.

A cat that likes to decorate the tree for Christmas!

A little girl wanted a kitten for Christmas. She got her wish when she saw a man selling cats only having one left. Taking the kitten home it seems like he was a normal kitten but things changed! The story led up to us shocking ending that children and parents will laugh about! I like how the author utilize something that was not traditional make a cute and adorable new take on Christmas. The instructions follow the book well and will let children laughed at the story as it's being read to them.

Holiday Spirit is Here

What a wonderful Christmas story to put you in the holiday mood. If you're an animal lover, you will love all the antics of this adorable cat named Charlie. He really brings the family together in this entertaining story line. Not only do they create a new tradition, but Charlie keeps the family laughing until the end. Beautifully illustrated and an all around enjoyable read.

So funny

This was a really fun story to read. It had a good storyline and plot. Even though it's a short and easy to read book it contained a great deal of information. The author has done a wonderful job of infusing this sweet story about a girl who wants a cat for Christmas and then gets more than she bargained for. If you want to find out what this little cat did you have to read the book

This is such a great Christmas story that every family can probably relate to, as we all know what it is like to have a child who's wish is for a new pet. I love how the author has integrated the child's new pet into the story and the ending was such a creative way to explore a "Catmas Christmas".

I will definitely recommend.

a Christmas story that leaves you smiling at the end

What a wonderful story for the whole family. A little girl has a Christmas wish for a kitten, but not just any kitten. When she gets her kitten named Charlie things seem normal at first but then unusual things start to happen. Great read for children. Anyone who knows the holiday season with pets will love this book!

Sweet Christmas tale

Such a sweet story about a girl who gets the best gift, the only gift she had hoped for for Christmas, a kitten. What I found was especially nice was that the girl was so appreciative, she did not ask for any more gifts.
