I asked my six year old how many stars from 1-5 and she said “all the stars in the world.” Her reason that it was good and she loves the cat and the goat. We giggled together so much throughout. Thankful to Netgalley and Scholastic for this E-ARC in exchange for my honest review. Such a fun book! I also loved the bit of the news in the beginning and it was a good conversation opener to talk with kids about the news if parents so choose.

Cat on the Run in Cucumber Madness is another fun adventure with the Cat on the Run crew. It's whimsical and delightful. The characters are charming and it's a great choice for readers who are moving from picture books to chapter books. A great graphic novel and story from Aaron Blabey!

This follow up book is a great, fast read for elementary school kids! Picking right off where book 1 ended and adding in some hilarious cat humor with cucumbers! My boys laughed hysterically!

Beautiful and funny illustrations. Storyline will be appreciated by adults but I think will go over elementary school aged kids heads. It was an enjoyable read but I thought #1 in the series was better.

We absolutely love these books, my kids gobbled this book up & it was so entertaining. We need more. The love started with the bad guys & when there was one about a cat now my daughter was thrilled. For a proof of this book it was a little hard to follow but once I put it on my iPad kindle app it was much easier. Always a pleasure to get lost in an Aaron Blabey book. Such a silly story! Cucumbers?? Thank you so much for the opportunity to get a first look with this book.

Read and reviewed in conjunction with my seven year old child.
This is a fun, wacky graphic novel perfect for fans of the author's The Bad Guy Series. Cat on the Run features some of the same characters from that series, but with a new heroine. We both laughed out loud multiple times and enjoyed the author's unique sense of humor. The illustrations are simple, yet enjoyable. We will definitely read more of this series.

Thank you for the early opportunity to read and review this book.

My son loved this book! He was so excited to read an advanced copy that he read the whole thing in a one hour sitting. He said 'the best part was at the end.' So I guess he's learning how most books work!

Very fun continuation of the Cat on the Run series. Loved the illustrations - the characters are so expressive. The scapegoat (haha) was a fun touch. Kids will enjoy this one!
