Editorial Reviews

Review

Patrick S. Stemp has written a delightful story for young readers. The beautiful, colorful illustrations help lead the story along, inviting the young reader into the different worlds of Cat and New Cat. There is a lesson in this story, a lesson about accepting differences and trying hard to be friends with everyone. It is a simple lesson, one that everyone needs to learn - the importance of friendships and the importance of accepting other people's differences.

Cute Story, Well Illustrated. Two and Three Year-olds will Love Hearing You Read it Aloud

ByTravis CTOP 100 REVIEWERon June 8, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Length: 21 pages.

This is a cute story told from the point of view of a small female who has been something of an only child until her family brings home a younger, but larger cat to be her sibling.

Just as no two humans are precisely identical, each cat has its own personality. With luck, they might find something in common.

This is sure to entertain toddlers, and is worth the price I paid, $2.99.

An exquisitely illustrated story with a great lesson

ByLisa M. Gotton July 6, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Patrick Stemp’s The New Cat is a delightful new children’s story about a cat who struggles to befriend a new resident “cat” in his home. The illustrations by Anita Soelver are breathtaking and jump off the page into your lap, making the story truly come alive. And the size of the book is perfect, too. Large enough for a parent and child to enjoy together, but not too bulky for a young child to hold on their own.

Stemp teaches children that everyone is different. That even in the most different of souls lives something relatable. He reminds us that patience and perseverance are two of the main ingredients when making (and keeping) a friendship.

Stemp and Soelver are a team to watch out for. I have a feeling many more of their books will be gracing the shelves of children’s rooms across the world in very short order.

A perfect book for a young child who likes cats and dogs

BySimon Cantanon July 16, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I read this book to my four-year-old son and he loved it. The illustrations are incredible and the story was great too. He did get a little confused as to why the dog was called 'New Cat', so I had to explain that, but other than that it was a big hit in our house.

A gem.

ByJ. TantTOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICEon June 11, 2015

Format: Kindle Edition

Note - I received an advance copy for review purposes.

A fantastic kid's book. Really! The ideal length for a bedtime story, or for that matter an anytime story. My five year old loved this story and demanded that I "READ IT AGAIN!" twice.

What makes this book effective is the use of both narrative AND illustration. Not only are the illustrations appropriate to what's going on in the narrative (which seems like such a small thing, but there are a lot of books out there where the pictures don't tie to the text on that page), but in one point the illustration *tells* the story in the absence of words. It's near the end, when Cat happens upon the "new cat" (that's to say, a dog) sleeping in her spot. The scene advances the story elegantly and imaginatively.

The text is very well written, as well as being age-appropriate and not at all patronizing or condescending to the young reader (or listener).

Really - this book is a gem. Outstanding work and I hope not the last we'll hear from the team of Stemp and Soelver.

Best kids cat book I have ever read.

ByDavid H. BirleyVINE VOICEon June 21, 2015

Format: Kindle Edition

If I could give this ten stars, I would. I say that from my biased position as a cat person. The cat who owns me is named Hecate (when you say her name it sounds like you're saying "Hey Kitty"). Cat in this story is so much like Hecate I could hardly stand it. This isn't some imaginary super-cat that tries to save the world, this is a real cat. A cat just like Hecate. She snoozes, she plays, she likes tinned fish (Hecate's favorite is tuna). I have never subjected Hecate to a new house member, because I recognize and respect her position as Queen. Even a kitten coming in could cause serious upset to the nice orderly way of running things that Hecate has set up. I love how Cat adjusts to New Cat joining the family.

I can't remember when I have enjoyed any book more than this one. Please -- get it, read it, share it, and love it!

A cute and entertaining story!

ByJjspinaon June 27, 2015

Format: Kindle Edition

A cute story about a house cat that rules her domain. She has favorite things to do like eating canned fish, playing with her catnip ball and chasing shadows. One day Cat's owners bring home a surprise. Is it another cat? This new cat doesn't want to do the same things that Cat does until they find one thing that they both like to do. I won't ruin the surprise. You will have to read into find out.

This book is beautifully illustrated and well written and an enjoyable read for children. Children will learn that differences are not important when it comes to friendship. I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

Loved IT!

BySandra K. Stileson June 18, 2015

Format: Kindle Edition

I loved this book. Cat loves chasing shadows, playing with her catnip ball eating fish and sleeping on her rug in the rays of sunshine. One day her owners bring home a bundle. Cat sets out to teach “new cat” the ropes. Cat keeps hoping to find something in common with new cat. Cat tries to share her catnip ball, but new cat likes his chew toy. Instead of chasing shadows, New Cat is taken for a walk. Will cat and New Cat ever find something in common? Read this cute book to find out why Cat and New Cat are so different.
I received a copy to facilitate my review. The opinions expressed here are my own.

He loved to play with his catnip ball

ByGisela H. Sedlmayer, author of the Talon book serieson June 22, 2015

Format: Kindle Edition

Cat, the queen in the house, was an inside cat and did all what cats supposed to do.
He loved to play with his catnip ball, chasing shadows and eating canned fish for dinner. She also loved to lay in the sun on her favourite place.

One day his family brought another cat into the house. and that Cat did everything wrong for her. He didn't like playing with the catnip all, he liked other things.

Cat was surprized if they could ever be friends and find some common ground. She found it as they laid together in the sun. Cat was very happy so was the new Cat (Dog).

A delightful book for children to learn sharing. Very imaginative with fantastic drawings to the great text.

A copy was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.
