In the odd couple tradition of Ren & Stimpy (but very child friendly) we have Catwad & Blurmp - two cats who are best friends trying to get by day by day. Catwad/introvert and Blurmp/extrovert pass that glass back and forth; and we all laugh at how empty/full life really is. Will look for more books in this series.

Still Funny

I love the Catwad series. I’ve been buying the paperbacks for my kids and the Kindle version for myself. Great emoji fodder from the elaborate expressions.

This book has a lot of childish humor. My eight year old grandson laughed wildly as he read it to me, and gave it five stars! A good book to excite young boys about reading. It is cleverly written and illustrated.

Sad to find out this is the last book in the series so far. It's been a hilarious run. This book did not disappoint but made me laugh out loud the entire time. As usual, love the banter between the two cats and the illustrations.

[blueygurl2016 · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was hilarious, as usual. The only thing I didn’t like was the fortune telling bit but everything else was great.

Blurmp needs professional help. Very entertaining.

[Alison G. · Rating 5 out of 5]

My six year old could not stop laughing through this book. Especially “Beauty”. This is hysterical.

[Allison · Rating 5 out of 5]

I questioned whether I should include this in my yearly review, but I decided to because it was a cute memory. While sitting and waiting for a table with my nephew, we checked out this book from my library's online collection. We read most of it out loud together and he finished it at the table. As he finished, he told us "Five Stars for Catwad!" so, for that wonderful lunch at Fitz's, I give Catwad: You're Making Me Six 5 stars.

I am a huge fan of Catwad and Blurmp!
