Editorial Reviews

Review

Praise for The Amazing Crafty Cat:

"A genuinely sweet book." ―LA Times


"A charming addition to early reader graphic novel collections and a solid option for young crafters and fans of the author." ―School Library Journal

"The clear, simple layouts make this an accessible choice for the graphic-novel newbies, and plenty of clever details and playful visuals will appeal equally to more experienced readers." ―The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

About the Author

Charise Mericle Harper has written more than fifty books for children, not that she counted, but once when she was at school visit a kid put his hand up and said, “you wrote fifty-four books. I counted them on Amazon”. These books include chapter books, graphic novels, picture books and early readers, including the Crafty Cat, Fashion Kitty, and Just Grace series, and The Good For Nothing Button. Charise also wrote and illustrated the weekly comic strip Eye Spy. Charise is excited and slightly nervous to share Bad Sister with the world. It’s not easy to admit you were bad, even if now you are very, very good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing series (for reading and for learning crafts and to relax) for kids

Both my kids LOVE this series! It's the first one to truly engage them, make them want to read. Their teachers had copies in their classrooms, and they got so hooked we had to buy them. Great animation (not not too complex or distracting), and the written content is so perfect for that age group. Easy to read, yet great messages around bullying, fitting in, etc. This author has also written Fashion Kitty, as well as some other books for a younger age. They are all great!

Crafty Cat is one of my favorite series and bonus it’s written in the popular comic style. My girls, ages 7 and 9 absolutely love them. They are quirky and funny and any creative/crafty kid will sure love the fun personality throughout the book. It’s always a win when a book keeps a kid reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute, sweet, and fun!
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2020
Crafty Cat does it again! This time, she's out to get the lead in the school play, and crafts are the way to do it! The book is sweet and teaches about compromise, all while having a lot of fun doing the different crafts. My girls are older, but they would have loved this book when they were in their early elementary years.

I received a free digital copy of the book from NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great story about compromise.
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2018
I received an Advanced Reader Copy of this book from the publisher and am voluntarily reviewing it. Birdie is battling her nemesis Anya for the lead in the school play they both want to be a butterfly after everyone picks different insects to be in the school play. Birdie realizes she is becoming Anya and takes the caterpillar role. What a great story about compromise and learning to deal with difficult people all for the greater good.

4.0 out of 5 stars No need to read the series in order
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2018
Crafty Cat (aka Birdie) is super excited for the class play about insects. She is going to be the star, the butterfly. But when she shows up at school, she discovers that seven of her classmates also think they’re going to be the butterfly. Their teacher says each person needs to pick a different insect. Most of the kids decide on another insect and give up their butterfly dreams, but not Birdie and not Anya. Their teacher says they have to work out between them who will get to be the butterfly. Can they figure things out so everyone is happy and can the class pull off the play successfully?

Birdie’s crafty skills come in handy a number of times throughout this story. They help her calm down. They help her prove that other things can be cute besides butterflies. And they help her save the play (but sorry, no spoilers as to how). Craft and art skills don’t often get the spotlight for saving the day in kids’ books, so this is a graphic novel for lower grades perfect for the artsy readers. There’s no need to read other books in the Crafty Cat series in order to get this story, but if readers get into this one, they will likely be thrilled to know there are more.

I received an ARC of this title from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Crafting Fun!
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2018
The second book in this series was not the best, but this installment brought it back for me. In this issue, Birdie wants to be the butterfly in her school play but another girl in her class wants it too, she must find a way to accept the possibility of not being the part she wants. I liked Birdie/ Crafty Cat in this issue again, she wanted something, couldn't have it, and handled it very well and I think that is a great lesson for younger readers. Anya the other girl in the issue is always the troublemaker and she is kind of a brat, I think that these books should take more time emphasizing that her behavior is not acceptable, but as long as our main character Birdie is a positive role model I think that is something.

In this issue there are also loads of great crafts, and it is probably my favorite thing about these graphic novels is the crafts - we have bookmarks, lanterns, and butterfly clip craft templates that all look like a lot of fun.

If you have a kid that loves crafts this is a great series for them and the instructions tell you everything you need.
