There are two fabulous new reviews of Sophie Masson and Laura Wood’s fabulous little chapterbook, Sabina and the Cats of Rome, in Kids Book Review and Read Plus.
Here are extracts from the reviews:
In a simple chapter book, Sophie Masson has created a captivating story set in Ancient Rome. It is exciting and action-packed and will be enjoyed by early independent readers aged 5-7. There are minimal clues about life in Ancient Rome, enough to pique interest but not enough to confuse a young reader. Mostly this is about a girl and a talking cat and their quest to rescue a royal cat, with the help of the family dogs. The illustrations are cartoon-like in simplicity and scattered through the chapters. (Carolyn Hull in Read Plus, read the whole review here)
Sabina and the Cats of Rome is an action-packed adventure perfect for younger readers. A feisty young heroine up to any challenge, leads an imaginative cast of characters….Excellent black and white illustrations fill the book, adding visual reinforcement of the text while enriching the story.
