Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with an eArc of this beautiful little book.

We follow our main character and her cats on various magical adventures that keep us hooked. This book contains beautiful illustrations and a magical story. Loved it!

I adored this book and wish it was around when I was a girl! The cover is so whimsical and charming and the tale of Miss Petitfour and her cats is simply adorable. Both the text and illustrations perfectly capture the simply joy of living. Looking forward to the next one!

Having read this with my kids’ viewpoints in mind, this is a wonderful book! If you (or children you know) love Mary Poppins and/or cats this is the right book for sure! I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t shown up more in mainstream recommendations for me as I hadn’t heard of the original Miss Petitfour book until discovering this ARC on NetGalley. Lovely story with smart writing and adorable illustrations throughout! Highly recommend. :)

I was provided with an advance reader copy of this book from both NetGalley and the publishers, with the understanding that I would provide an honest review. I must say, the writing in this book was truly delightful and flawless.

It was a pleasant surprise to discover more adventures featuring the incredibly charming Miss Petitfour. She is truly a one-of-a-kind lady, always finding joy in the simple pleasures of life, like savoring delicious desserts, enjoying fresh food, spending time with good friends, and embarking on whimsical journeys through the sky on her magical tablecloths. Every now and then, she even finds herself caught up in an exciting escapade.

Craving a cozy read, I was thoroughly satisfied by this book. Although I had ordered the first installment in the series, this one arrived first, so I thought, why not dive right in?

Miss Petitfour is an independent woman who not only excels in baking but also takes pride in being a devoted pet parent to her sixteen cats. And, as luck would have it, she possesses a touch of magic that enables her to soar through the air, accompanied by her feline companions, using tablecloths designed as whimsical hot air balloons. Each of her cats possesses a unique personality, but I must admit that Clasby, who has a passion for drawing and painting, is my personal favorite. (His name even brings to mind the enchantment of Gatsby; although 'Catsby' might have been an even better fit!) The stories within these pages are light-hearted, brimming with vivid descriptions of food, particularly delectable desserts. Coziness, cats, and culinary delights - what more could one ask for?

My kids and I absolutely loved this and are looking forward to reading the sequel!

Special thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author.

I was not a fan of this novel. It felt disjointed to me which kept removing me from the story. I love the premise but the execution fell flat for me.

The Further Adventures of Miss Petitfour by Anne Michaels is a beautiful book. The story is catchy and amazing.

The illustrations are beautiful. Great read for begginers.

Odd, delightful, old-fashioned, and new all at the same time. Miss Petitfour is a modern series with a classic feel and will absolutely enchant just the right child.

This is a difficult book to review. It felt almost like a caricature of a children's book. As a writing exercise it checked all the boxes flawlessly. It had quirky characters doing quirky things. The writing was lighthearted and fun. But it was just off somehow. I liked the idea of a series of short stories following the lively Miss Petitfour and her cats, but none of them were at all interesting.

One very notable problem was that the stories did not seem to fit with the reading level. The stories might have made a decent picture book, but would not likely be of any interest to a child at the level to read it.

I'm not really sure who I would recommend this book to.

I thank Penguin Random House and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review the advance copy of this book.

The illustrations in this one were adorable! However, there may be too much text on the pages for young readers. Nevertheless, it's a very unique and immersive read that would make the perfect bedtime read for kids ages 8 to 11.

Such whimsical, charming, illustrations, paired with stories that would work well for story time. Playful and sweet, will recommend!

100% charming! I love Miss P and her adventures! The vocabulary is just beautiful and I love the bolded, color words. I adore this series!

Miss Petitfour is BACK! I cannot express just how excited I am that there is more adventures for Miss Petitfour and her sixteen kitties. I know this is a children's book but this book embodies my entire dream life, living out with a bunch of cats and going on gentle adventures and picnics. This one follows Miss Petitfour's experiences a little farther into the city rather than mostly at home, and introduces us to new characters like the shop owner, the mayor, and of course more of Mr. Coneybeare (can those two get married already?!) I hope this series never ends.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley and a physical copy from LibraryThing. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.

Adored the illustrations although they didn't present well on my kindle. Thought the writing was simple and very sweet. humorous too

This was cute and quirky, and I enjoyed it. It's very imaginative, and I enjoyed the wordplay wordiness to a certain extent, but that part does get overdone in places. I don't say that lightly; I'm one of those readers who enjoys a lot of description and flowery-ness, and it takes a lot of it for me to say "maybe tone it down a bit." Still, this is a light, fun story with lots of interesting cats and bits of magic, and the occasional detour into explaining words and such didn't really take away from that. This was very warm hug cozy feels, kid Up-Lit as it were, that is also enjoyable for adults and something I would've really enjoyed as a kid, and I've already grabbed the first book (which I missed somehow) to enjoy next!

#TheFurtherAdventuresofMissPetitfour #NetGalley

Perfect for early readers and read alouds alike, this edition is the newest collection of stories about Miss Petitfour and her sixteen cats. Beautiful illustrations and lovely word play.

The first thing that you notice as you open the book is the gorgeous watercolour illustrations. They elevated my reading experience by a mile. It turns out that this wasn't the first adventure book of Miss Petitfour, but it does not matter if this book found its way to you first because the author beautifully introduces her and her cats again in this one. This book was so reminiscent of Enid Blyton's books. Especially the adventures of Mr Pink Whistle. I am pretty sure that the book would be great to teach middle graders new words and introduce them to various aspects of language like rhymes, synonyms etc. But I am pretty sure it would be far more advanced for any children younger than that. I can't believe I am saying this but there are too many cats to follow. I have forgotten almost all their names, by the time I am writing this feedback. I adore cats, but there are way too many for me personally, to keep track of. Also, the text could have been more concise. Too much going on at the same time. The illustrations make it worth the read, but I think the narration can be trimmed a bit.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book.

Thank you Penguin Random House and NetGalley for the ARC

Continuing Miss Petitfour’s adventures, Anne Michael’s serves up more whimsical episodes of the tablecloth flier and her many cats. The illustrations are created again by Emma Block, and have a light, spirited feel, and continue to delight.
We see more of the town Miss Petitfour lives by, and watch as she and the cats both hinder and help their neighbours. Of course, there are no bad feelings in this story; instead, everyone is kind, considerate, and each episode ends happily. It was lovely, and just what I needed.

Thank you to Netgalley and to Penguin Random House Canada for this ARC in exchange for my review.

This was just as cute and whimsical as the first in the series. I love the small-town vibes, the little adventures that Miss Petitfour and the cats go on, and also just the fun words and storytelling that Anne Michaels adds to the story. I also love the illustrations that Emma Block does. They pair so well with the story. Overall, a very fun read, and I would love to read about Miss Petitfour and her cats again.

This book is composed of a delightful series of stories that are sure to charm readers of all ages. Highly recommended for all collections.
