Baker and Taylor and the Mystery of the Library Cats, by Candy Rodo

 

Makes learning purrfect fun.

Great concept and new series for independent readers. Two inquisitive library cats who love to read also learn that there is more to the world than they imagined. They set out in search of the "library cats" they're told about and it takes them on an adventure. It's also a mystery of sorts because they have no idea where these cats are located. They follow clues to find them. In the process, they meet lots of interesting people, not to mention statues, see lots of feet and legs, and even ride the NY subway. Oh, and there's pizza.

I see lots of potential for this series. I wonder where their curiosity will take Baker and Taylor next. They met the "library cats" and along the way we learn bits of info in boxes of factoids included. There's also more detailed info at the end along with ideas for other places one might visit in NYC. Great idea, fun execution with adorable, colorful illustrations. Loved it and I'll note that there was no danger implied, a plus for sensitive young readers.

Thanks #NetGalley and #BakerAndTaylor - #PawPrintsPublishing for allowing me to tag along as Baker and Taylor get to know their city a bit better. Looking forward to their next outting.
