MELBOURNE, Australia (PRWEB) December 14, 2012
A spirited cat makes an unexpected arrival to a new home in Cats in Flats (published by Trafford Publishing), the colorful childrens book written and illustrated by Karen Chambers.
The book celebrates the joy of living and the cheeky and playful way that cats can be in our lives, Chambers writes.
Many children long for a pet of their own, but parents are often cautious about the responsibilities that come with caring for a pet. Puppies, kittens, rabbits and other creatures require a lot of time and commitment, but most pet owners would argue that the rewards of animal companionship far outweigh the costs.
Written in singsong rhyme and accompanied by Chambers unique, whimsical illustrations, Cats in Flats follows the adventures of a family adjusting to a new, unexpected member of their family.
This book is relevant as it affirms the readers connection to another life (the cat) and presents a positive way for a family to solve a problem in which both the family and the cat are ok.
