Review: Traveling Cats and Human
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 11 14, 2013
When I finished reading and reviewing Why Kimba Saved the World, I couldn't imagine Meg Dendler surpassing that story or the personification of the animals in her first book in the Cats in the Mirror Series. I. Was. Wrong!Once again, Dendler has developed the cats and one dog in her story to be exactly as we see them day-to-day, those of us who are cat and dog lovers. Personally, I own a black-and-white tuxedo girl, and with each page turn she leaps out at me as Hiro does this or that. Dendler possesses a talent for character development.As before, Vacation Hiro does not lack for action, dialogue and enough suspense to keep any reader engaged. When I say "any reader," this is a book not just for the middle reader, but also for animal lovers, those who love to read about animals, grandparents and parents to read to those younger than middle readers, and anyone who loves a touch of fantasy.Included in Vacation Hiro are illustrations (created by the author's daughter) and images of Hiro, Kimba and another cat character in the book. They add a great deal to the book's appeal.* * *My Recommendation:Need I say more? I highly recommend this book for the age group intended -- children's/middle grade science fiction fantasy. And all the other potential readers listed above. This book would make a great gift!Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. The opinions expressed are my own.
