| PreSchool-Grade 2—Friendly looking watercolors illustrate a charming story, loosely based on an Irish legend, about why cats have nine lives. Felicity, a young witch, is excited about her upcoming birthday. She's finally turning 263 and is excited about the changes that this magical age brings: her first wart; curling shoe toes; the ability to cast a love spell; and, most thrilling of all, the capacity to turn herself into a cat. "Give me whiskers and moonlight sight,/as I become a cat tonight./My witchy self will now be gone,/but I'll return by break of dawn!" Gentle tension arises as her cousins Wanda, Willa, and Woo worry that she might make the transition permanent by one too many nocturnal changes—the eighth change cannot be reversed—and attempt to intervene with a spell of their own. In the end, all is well: Felicity has made her decision about who she really wants to be. Easy-to-read text features simple dialogue and fresh word choices ("she didn't care a whisker about the rules") that work well with large illustrations of the orange-striped feline and the Halloween season. A great read-aloud choice for storytimes.—Lee Bock, Glenbrook Elementary School, Pulaski, WI |

| Cat Nights is a children's picturebook about Felicity Witch, whose 263rd birthday has given her the magical power to turn into a cat. Felicity has eagerly anticipated this day, yet there are limits to a witch's power - if she turns into a cat nine times, she can never turn back into a witch! Felicity's cousins watch her use the spell on eight nights, and in order to keep their beloved Felicity around they try to hex her into not wanting to be a cat. But in order to take away her desire to be a cat, the spell has to take away all her ability to find joy in life! At last Felicity's cousins acknowledge their mistake and lift the spell. Felicity knows that to become a cat again is to become a cat forever, but it's what she wants to be more than anything else, even though she will miss being with her cousins as a witch. A charming picturebook about being true to one's heart, perfect for the Halloween season. |
