The Cat that Made Nothing Something Again ~ Review

   Posted by: Lynnette   in Book Reviews

Mr. Maxon has written a very enjoyable children’s book here. Well done!

The nameless cat lives in a land of dry everything - people, trees, food, land. The sponges have come through, you see, and stolen all the moisture and life. Everyone lives a dry meaningless existence and the cat is tired of the same old boring routine day after day. So he decides that he must go and find the sponges and restore moisture to the land.

He sets off on a fun adventure where he meets all sorts of interesting creatures until, finally, he arrives at the castle where the sponges have made their home. It takes a little help from a seed and a turtle, but, like all good ‘hero’ stories, the sponges are, in the end, defeated.

If you are looking for a fun chapter book for your 7-9 year old to read, this should be on the list!

James Maxon has generously offered a to give a free book to the winner of this blog drawing. All you have to do is comment at the end of this post, to have your name entered. The drawing will be held on Friday the 3rd of April. So jump right in! This is a cute, fun story!

This sounds like a great story and one that my granddaughter would enjoy very much.

I like the way James makes so many formats available on his site, as well as the option to buy the book as a Kindle book. (I can download Kindle e-books and read them on my iPhone, and have started to do this for variety with my other dead-tree versions.)

I like the way James designed his book page, all the available formats, and the ability to download via Kindle. I can read Kindle books on my iPhone, and while they don’t replace the traditional dead-tree variety, they do augment the reading experience.

People (cats) who make lemonade out of lemons are classified as heroes in “my book.” And my 8-year-old daughter could really like this book seeing it’s about her favorite animal.

James Maxon has made a book that we can help us teach our children relate to some of the difficulties in life and how we can overcome them with help from others.

This sounds delightful, wonderfully creative and an exciting adventure. I know my young cousins would love it.
And I’m glad the cat is black, they usually are the bad guys and it is nice to see them get some good press.

Good luck with your book!

Hi, Lynnette. Thanks for stopping by my blog. You’re the first Lynnette I’ve met who spelled her name right! That’s so funny that you wrote that on my blog because I saw a Lynette and told her she spelled her name wrong. I think she told me I got carried away with my n’s or something like that. LOL So cool that you’re a pubbed author. Congrats! Keep in touch. I’m on Facebook, too.
