Book SynopsisMeet Max - the mighty kitten and New York Times bestseller.This is Max. Max is very sleepy. It''s way past Max''s bedtime. Max has drunk his milk. Max has brushed his teeth. Max has cleaned behind his ears. Now Max just needs to say goodnight. . .Max is tired and all ready for bed, but when he can''t find the moon to say goodnight to, he sets out to find it. But that''s not as easy as Max had hoped. . . Witty and heart-warming, this stylish and beautifully illustrated book is the perfect bedtime read.Trade ReviewVere's playful, minimalist illustrations are just right for this quiet story. Some might wonder how the cat will cope with a new moon, but everyone will be rooting for Max, and hoping he returns in another adventure. -- Peter Brown * The New York Times *A nocturnal quest yields great rewards for the little black cat with the big yellow eyes. Last seen mixing up his monsters and mice in Max the Brave (2015), cute kitten Max preps for beddy-bye. Yet his usual litany of "good night"s hits a snag when the moon is nowhere to be found. Determined to bid his lunar pal good night, Max moves from a tree to the rooftops to the highest hills. Sympathetic winds uncover the moon, gleaming and bright, who assures Max that it can hear him, even when he's safe at home. Max's plight and nighttime quest will ring true for any child who has ever called out from a dark bedroom for comfort. Though Vere does not take the opportunity to explain the waxing and waning of the moon, the lapse doesn't detract from the fact that this outing surpasses Max's last. The interior pastel backgrounds, so familiar from the earlier book, yield to twilight's ochres and periwinkles, then to deep reds and blues. These deeper tones, paired alongside Max's brilliant yellow eyes, recall such classics as Sam and the Firefly. Vere's digital illustrations give the mouthless Max eyes that appear uncommonly expressive, though they do little more than look or close. Cozy, dozy, comforting fare. -- Kirkus * Kirkus *

This is about personal space and boundaries, but it’s also about the uniqueness of being you (and of being me!) and how wonderful it is to share that with a friend (especially when that friend is a cat!).“ —Flyleaf Books (Chapel Hill, NC)“Oh, what a delicious and hilarious read to share! … This book originally published in 1963 is a delight, and I had great fun reading it aloud… The limited color palette and layout compliment the words as they roll off your tongue. It’s such fun and perfect for cat lovers but also those in need of learning to set boundaries.“ —Shelf Editions (Lincoln, UK)“Remy Charlip is one of the great creative minds of his time, so I was thrilled to discover this book about a boy, his cat, friendship, boundaries, inner lives of sentient beings, and so much more… This book is full of wordplay, witty illustrations with a mid-century aesthetic, and not-heavy-handed messages about independence, which makes it a very fun read-aloud.“ —KidsBookRecs

Little individualists will identify with Jet and respond favorably to Runyan’s cartoon illustrations of wide-eyed animals with bendy limbs and googly eyes” – Kirkus Reviews“The lively, amusing narrative carries its point lightly, showing how Jet’s frustration builds when she lets others define who she is and recedes when she takes charge of her identity.

Book SynopsisHow many cat breeds are there? Let's find out! This book belongs to all cat lovers! Did you know that some cats don't have five fingers, but six? We're not pulling your whiskers—it's true! Whether you have your own pet at home or whether you just like these adorable little rascals—read our illustrated cat atlas, which will introduce you to the most interesting, lazy, cuddly, and wild cat breeds in the world, from the common European tabby to the silky-haired Persian cat and the unusual Lykoi.

It contains many stories, interviews, and news from around the world of renowned feline celebrities, as well as lesser-known cat heroes and heroines.Trade ReviewProud holder of the California Reading Association Eureka Silver Award for 2022."When I was a kid, I wanted this kind of book. I remember specifically searching for this book, in fact, and coming up with nothing. Pretty much, I wanted a title that could systematically tell me about all the different cat breeds out there. And while I’m sure we’ve seen such somewhat similar books in the past, there’s something so nice about this flurry of fluffy facts." ―Elizabeth Bird, School Library Journal"The Atlas of Cats is a charming hardcover volume that teaches young readers about different breeds of cats, and more - how cats jump, world-record setting cats, and fascinating true-life cat stories in fun-to-read "Meow News" sections. It should be noted that The Atlas of Cats primarily focuses upon the characteristics of individual cat breeds, and isn't meant to substitute for a dedicated pet care guide. Whimsical, hand-drawn color illustrations add a vibrant touch to this delightful book; young and old cat lovers alike will enjoy paging through it from cover to cover. ―Midwest Book Review, Children's Bookwatch"I would recommend this to any child who loves cats or for those looking to discover which cat breed they want as their next pet. If you're looking for it, this book will have it. It's a unique take on educating people about the different breeds of cats and the formatting itself easily gets five stars alone." ―YA Books Central"The characteristics of twenty-five different breeds of cats is found here which include temperament, appearance, traits and history. Following each breed is a section called Meow News which illustrates a famous cat of that breed. Cat Tail language will let you know what your cat is telling you if its tail is in one of six positions. Each boldly-titled fact is accompanied by an illustration and synopsis. Brightly-colored illustrations fill the pages. The last two pages include celebrity cats, how to care for a cat and cat record holders. A fascinating and informative tribute to our feline friends." ―Youth Services Book Review"A cat lover's new favorite book! Young children and animal lovers will enjoy the adorable pictures, interesting facts, and humorous antics of the furry friends depicted in this informational text. Readers will learn about different breeds of cats ranging from their appearance to their temperament. Is a British Shorthair cuddly? What other types of cats have tabby patterns? Readers will be delighted to find answers to these questions and much more in this fantastic book. The illustrations wonderfully complement the descriptions and make this a book that children will pick up repeatedly. Younger children who are not yet able to read will enjoy the illustrations, while older elementary children will find joy in reading all about cats.” —Katie Duke, SLIS Crimson Review"Helena Haraštová and Jana Sedláčková's Atlas of Cats features appealing and fun cat drawings by Giulia Lombardo that bring to life cat stories. These explore the natural history of felines in an attractive combination that enlivens the concept of the bedtime story with a cat-centric focus. The study reveals different cat breeds that hold different temperaments and personalities, reviewing each cat's appearance, evolution over the centuries, and place in human affairs. The writing is notably evocative and lively, as in the description of the Ragdoll cat: "Despite my name, I'm a wild giant. No toy factor would produce a creature with such a silky coat and such dazzling blue eyes as mine!" Kids learning about cats will relish this fun approach." ―Donovans Literary Services "This book is so adorable! I love the attractive design and the sweet artwork. Every page is so colorful, and all the kitties are so cute! Although there is a lot of information in this book, the writing style makes it fun and interesting. Each page is broken up into smaller sections with easy-to-read paragraphs that keep your attention. There is some really good information in this book, and it is also interesting to read about the history of cats. I loved reading about the way different cat breeds were discovered or developed throughout history." ―Luminous Libro "I can not wait to get this book for our school library! Our kids will love this comic book style informative book about cats! Well done!" ―Joni H, Educator "Atlas of Cats is a fun and interesting non-fiction book for young cat lovers! The book covers many different breeds of cat and what makes them unique. There are also some fun features such as "Meow News" articles, world records and lots of funny and interesting pictures. Some of the non-fiction text features include: text boxes, diagrams, lists, legends, charts/tables, arrows, labels, bold text and headings. The fonts, pictures and random facts will definitely keep the interest of young readers. While there is a lot of text on each page and over 100 pages, I think that some children would enjoy looking at the pictures or reading this book with a friend or family member. I think this book would be best suited for children in the 8-11 range, but some younger or older kids may enjoy it as well." ―Angie k, Educator "This is an amazing book for cat lovers - I like a cat but this is for the tier of people who like a cat more than me! Tons of info for the serious enthusiast." ―Elizabeth S, Bookseller "I have always been a cat lover. I have had several cats in my life and I have loved them all so much. One of my cats was even a life saver for me. I had epilepsy and when I would have seizures my cat would run and jump on my parents and meow constantly until they came to check on me. Cat's are so amazing. They are smart, beautiful, perfect comic relief, and so sweet and sassy. If you love cats like I do then you will love this adorable book. It tells all about different kinds of cats. It does a wonderful job explaining the different cats personalities, what they look like, including different color variations, the different facial expressions and tail movements they have and the life expectancy of the cats. The illustrations are adorable and colorful. This is the perfect book for cat lovers of all ages." ―Whitney H, Reviewer"This book is absolutely adorable. Any cat lover kid will dig this up! The illustrations are adorable, the breed information is accurate along with a lot of other informative tidbits. I really enjoyed the meow news sections talking about famous cats too.
