A children's book! Not normally my thing really, but I loved the one Charles De Lint book I read, and I love cats, so...this should be awesome, right?

Synopsis from Goodreads:
The magic is all around you, if only you open your eyes....
Lillian Kindred spends her days exploring the Tanglewood Forest, a magical, rolling wilderness that she imagines to be full of fairies. The trouble is, Lillian has never seen a wisp of magic in her hills--until the day the cats of the forest save her life by transforming her into a kitten. Now Lillian must set out on a perilous adventure that will lead her through untamed lands of fabled creatures--from Old Mother Possum to the fearsome Bear People--to find a way to make things right.
In this whimsical, original folktale written and illustrated throughout in vibrant full color by two celebrated masters of modern fantasy, a young girl's journey becomes an enchanting coming-of-age story about magic, friendship, and the courage to shape one's own destiny.
I am a sucker for books about cats since they make me think of my adorable cat. This story looks very magical.
ReplyDeleteMy cat is also adorable. :)
DeleteAwe this one sounds good! I have been trying to read more MG/childrens books lately because I want to have read a few for when my daughter comes of age and I think she would love this. She has a things for kitties. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteAwww, smart girl. I love kitties!
DeleteI'm not really into children's books either but it does look cute. Thanks for sharing! ^.^ If you would like to check out my Waiting On Wednesday you can do so here. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't read too much children's, though I do love me some middle grade and YA.
DeleteWell I usually have a soft spot for books like this one as long as they are written well. If they are written at the reading level of the target audience I usually don't find them as attractive. This one sounds cute.
ReplyDeleteI imagine the writing should be pretty good. De Lint usually writes for teens.
