I bit on the scary side but pictures are good. If your child is scared of cats, this might be a trigger.

This book was not quite what I was expecting and was probably as surprised as my daughter was when we read it. I found the story not quite flowing as I would have liked, and did have an abrupt ending as others have stated. That said, yes, some of the images were "gross" and "yucky" as my daughter put it, but they really are beautiful illustrations. It would be a wonderful book for around Halloween and I do plan on reading the other book by this author as I enjoyed this particular witch and the books look. "Cat's Fur" is also a simple way to teach about allergies. Would I recommend this for a child under 5? Probably not. I don't know how my younger child will feel about this one as even my 5 year old said the images were a bit scary in places. (Mommy liked them though) Also, as I said earlier, the flow of the story could have been better. I thought I had skipped a page in the middle, but it was that the transition threw me off, even though it was there. If you like darker illustrations, Halloween themes and witches, this is a nice choice.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and author for allowing me and my child this electronic version to read in exchange for my honest review.

This witchy themed Children's Book didn't impress me. A witch has a bunch of cats, but also allergies - a girl can relate! Haha! But the illustrations were sub par and the flow of the story was not artistically done. This would've been cuter had the story rhymed. The story also did not have a clear beginning, middle, and end and in a sense, left with a cliff hanger - what will this witch do now that she's realized she too has allergies to cats? Guys.... cliff hangers in children's picture books?! Let's not.
