No matter how older I get, I cannot refuse myself the magic of reading children books. Age is just a number, therefore, I do not have any limit when it comes to reading. (Also, if you love learning languages, I recommend trying to practice your reading skills with children books; you will thank me later).
Full disclosure, I am not a cat person, but there is something magic about cats, especially cat as characters. The Magic of Mr. Mishkins by Samantha Mattocks, so beautifully illustrated by Gerda Smit, confirmed this assumption.
The book is part of a series having Mr. Mishkins (I just love this name) as main character, but you can also read it as a stand alone story. His adventures are taking him to an apothecary, meeting Celene, a girl dreaming to dance with a mouse on the moon. Together with his friends, they are learning important life lessons, in the ways in which we, as grown up adults learned once: fighting against our fears, insecurities, but also accepting to give up some of the dreams.
For preschool children or preteens, this book offers a healthy escape in a wold of imagination and funny characters, as they may encounter during their daily school and kindergarten days. Plus, the chance of having Mr. Mishkins as the main guide into life.
Rating: 4.5 stars
