My review

My Best Pal: The Awesome Ethan is a beautifully illustrated carefully crafted story. It is all about Jason and Ethan and their friendship. Jason was a very lonely boy before the arrival of Ethan. He was bullied and teased by other children in his school. But when he met Ethan, his entire life changed. He wants a friend who accept him and not judge him instead. He found his true companion in Ethan.

I loved this story. The full-size illustrations are the first thing that caught my eyes. But the author has penned a full story along with them. She carefully incorporated values such as care, acceptance, love and friendship in the story. This helps to inculcate these priceless emotions in my child from his young age. I believe these qualities will create a permanent effect on his behaviour. They will also help him to thrive in future.

The biggest message from the story is the acceptance. In a world filled with racism and divides, inclusiveness is an important lesson to teach our children. Our happiness depends on our thoughts and action. We can find happiness in every difficult situation with the right mindset. Loved this message!

Kat Doggers is more than an ordinary house cat. She’s also a secret agent of F.U.R., the feline spy team that protects the world from evil genius snails, master criminal fish, and the red dot of doom. Kat is ready for her first day on the job, but instead of an easy assignment, she chooses to go on a super-important special mission with two of F.U.R.’s best agents.

When the mission goes terribly wrong and her team gets captured, will Kat be able to save the day all on her own?

My review

Kat Doggers is living a dual identity. She is an ordinary house cat by day and a high-tech superspy by night. She is the rookie agent in the elite Feline Undercover Regiment (F.U.R) and awaiting her first mission. An unforeseen incident lands her in an unexpected mission with two other top agents, one is her cousin and the other is her idol. But this high-risk operation goes wrong and it is up to Kat to solve the mystery and rescue her fellow agents. Will she able to rise to the occasion?

Kat Doggers: Superspy is a well-written mystery thriller. The author never attempts to drag the story to unnecessary details. The story sticks to the crime and investigation. Over the course of the investigation, this story teaches us many lessons. One of such important lesson is believing in our abilities. If we believe in ourselves, we can defy all odds. We have to earn the stripes. No one will respect you until and unless we show them what we can do. It also points down to the importance of knowledge and analytical skills. This quirky, hilarious blend of characters creates a full-fledged entertainment throughout the story.
