The one book I that I was missing and I found it! This time new adventures, plants, a garden, and more~
As I said in the review for the Kitty and The Twilight Trouble book (posted yesterday), it is always a surprise in which language I can read the book! This time I read the book in Dutch as they didn’t have the book in English! No matter, the translation is pretty well done so I don’t mind. I am just very happy I can read more of Kitty’s adventures!
In this book Kitty is growing a sunflower and thinking of a superb plan for the school’s garden (which gave me nostalgia moments as I remembered back in elementary we also worked in the school’s garden for a while, which was tons of fun, or at least I remember it is as fun, but it’s been years, who knows XD). Thankfully, Pixie has a great idea to help Kitty with thinking of a fun plan and she takes her to a special places. A sky garden! I just loved the descriptions of the garden and thanks to that and the illustrations I could just envision myself there. Enjoying the gorgeousness of the garden and the view beyond that.
I am terribly sad that Pixie once again didn’t think and just blabbed her mouth. I mean really, I get that you want to tell cats about this wonderful place, but maybe should have asked Kitty or Graver. I am still saddened by the other book I read earlier (Twilight Trouble) in which she was also a handful. It seems that Pixie just cannot understand things.
I just loved meeting Graver (not sure about the English name so I will use the Dutch one. It is so fun to see more cats of this city and I loved how enthusiastic he was about the garden and his sweet owner. He looked so much fun with a big patch over his eyes and his stripy tail in 4 colours!
I wasn’t a fan of the group of cats, however it seemed that mostly they were manipulated by one cat, called in Dutch, Hertog. I wasn’t a fan of him. And I wasn’t a fan of the ending which, as we say in Dutch, was just way too zoetsappig for me. It just felt fake and really like, OH YES, this is a children’s book we have to end it with love and friendliness. It just fit didn’t with the cat’s personality and I would have rather seen him act like he did all the time. That would have fitted just a bit more.
I still think it is funny that the book is all in black/orange but then you get descriptions such as this: “big blue eyes” or “a fluffy white cat with green eyes”.
But all in all, I really enjoyed this book and I would have loved to really visit this gorgeous garden. And if I find some pots that I can recycle… well I may just take that idea as well! Don’t forget to drill holes in the bottom though so the water can get out and doesn’t drown the roots.

Reading children's books when you're in your twenties is like fresh air. I will complete this kitty series cuz the art is cool, pixie and pumpkin is so cute, right?

Super cute story. I originally bought this because of the cover with cats and a cute illustration. I haven't read books 1 or 2, but it seems like they can be read standalone.
The illustrations in this book are lovely, especially with the limited color palette.
The story itself teaches lessons of saying sorry when you make a mistake or do something wrong, and helping others.
I would have adored this series as a child. A girl who has adventures with her cat.

Violet says, “It was really good. I liked that all the cats said sorry after they made the garden bad.”
Another lovely, gently-told story in the series. And the illustrations were the perfect accompaniment to the story.

"Taman langit sangat indah dan tidak seharusnya aku masuk dan merusaknya."
Cerita khas anak-anak yang ringan dan menyenangkan, seru, ditambah dengan ilustrasi yang lucu.

This was a really sweet book. It shows how we can enjoy things yet still be careful and respectful. Kitty is a good character, she seems to have a strong moral compass and will try her best to right any wrongs. Kitty's cat friends are good too, I liked how ||Pixie was willing to admit that she made a mistake, she didn't lie she simply owned up to her mistake and apologised||. Overall a good book that I would definitely reccomend to new readers.

Super cute! Great for fans of Princess in Black!
Kitty is a superhero who talks to cats and has all the cat-type-superpowers (super hearing, super sight, super smell, plus she can jump off tall buildings and land on her feet!).
I liked the message behind this (sociatal responsibility and apologizing when you are naughty), and the art is truly wonderful. I will give it a pass because it is a children's book, but it /does/ teach that it is okay for domestic cats to be allowed outside (not good for the local wildlife, or the cat themselves) and at one point she does jump off a building, superpowers or no. So, ya know, take that into consideration. But the art and the writing is so good. I wasn't bored or annoyed as an adult reading it, so that is a good sign for parents considering it for coreading.
