In Mayday's Cat-tastic Escapades by Randa Abdulkarim, Mayday the Bengal cat is full of mischief, and she just loves her adventures. Follow Mayday on a wonderful journey as she introduces kids to the world of cats – some small, some big, and all of them amazing. Mayday loves to play hide-and-seek and you'll have to seek her out on every page. But are Mayday's adventures real, or is this just her vivid and wonderful imagination? Join Mayday on a cat-tastic adventure and have fun while learning. This is a fun book, written in rhyme and easy to follow, but it's also educational. It teaches kids about some of the different cats in the world, both wild and tame, and provides some cool facts about each one.
Mayday's Cat-tastic Escapades by Randa Abdulkarim is a lovely story with amazing illustrations by Noor Alshalabi that help kids see all the different cats being discussed. The harder names to pronounce are followed by a pronunciation guide and at the end of the book is a quick guide to each cat mentioned. There's also a fun little game included – spotting Mayday as she hides in different places. All kids will love reading this story, and it will also teach them to use their imaginations, no matter where they are, to explore the world around them. The addition of a photograph of the real Mayday is a lovely touch as it helps kids identify better with the story, and they'll be excited to follow Mayday on her mischievous adventures. This story may also go some way toward helping kids see the wonders of the natural world and understand that our wildlife and domesticated animals need all the protection we can give them. Lovely story and highly recommended reading for kids everywhere.
