This was a very cute book! It’s quirky, witty and educational. I appreciated that it was very clear in defining the meaning of words that are most likely new to the young readers. I adore the illustrations. I did feel at times that it was a little ramble-y but it could also be because I’m not the intended age group. Overall, I did love this e-ARC and it’s definitely something I’d purchase for my own child.

The Further Adventures of Miss Petitfour is a beautiful book. The illustrations are delightful, and any cat lover will adore Miss Petitfour and her furry companions.

I had a hard time figuring out who the audience was for this book. It seems as if it should be middle-grade, but is far too wordy. Some adults would enjoy this but I found myself getting bored quickly with the long descriptions and lists.

Thank you to NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Ein charmantes Kinderbuch, das mit Witz und Humor, aber auch mit einer Prise Spannung den Leser in seinen Bann zieht. Ich habe das Lesen sehr genossen und sogar das Buch in den Bestand unserer Kinderabteilung unserer Bibliothek aufgenommen.

"The Further Adventures of Miss Petitfour" is utterly captivating! Anne Michaels has produced a delightful sequel to her first book about Miss Petitfour, and readers will be thrilled to revisit once more the beautiful, enchanting, dreamy, whimsical, cosy and comforting world of the heroine. Anne has a remarkable gift for language and her magical play with words is perhaps at the heart of the charm of this book.

"The Further Adventures of Miss Petitfour" is the perfect comfort read, brimming with exquisite descriptions of nature, the seasons and its characters. A special treat for readers in this book (as in the first book) is the imaginative descriptions of the delectable, luscious foods enjoyed by the characters.

Anne Michaels' new book is an absolute "must buy" for my bookshelf!

I really enjoyed this book. It was really cute and fun. I love the creative naming and descriptions, and the stories are really interesting too.

The first time I have read one of these Books & decided to see whether it would be suitable for my youngest grandchildren in Japan ,& the answer is yes .The Book & it's illustrations are truly delightful & a fantastic way to add more complex words into English in a fun way .#GoodReads, #Netgalley, #FB, #Instagram , #<img src="https://www.netgalley.com/badge/358a5cecda71b11036ec19d9f7bf5c96d13e2c55" width="80" height="80" alt="100 Book Reviews" title="100 Book Reviews"/>, #<img src="https://www.netgalley.com/badge/ef856e6ce35e6d2d729539aa1808a5fb4326a415" width="80" height="80" alt="Reviews Published" title="Reviews Published"/>, #<img src="https://www.netgalley.com/badge/aa60c7e77cc330186f26ea1f647542df8af8326a" width="80" height="80" alt="Professional Reader" title="Professional Reader"/>.

This is so delightful! It is very good for expanding vocabulary, maybe for 8 years old and up, depending on reading level. Some words are particularly expanded on and many are just used in context which was my favorite way to learn words as a kid. I really like the blend of stories and smaller words that little kids can understand along with longer, less common words that kids might not have heard. Also, the stories were so cute, and very good for reading out loud as an older person can enjoy the stories too, although I personally would probably get tongue tied when there is alliteration.

Hello! I absolutely love (!!!) the Further Adventures of Miss Petifour!! :) If I could give this book more than five stars in the official rating scheme, I would do. I love everything about this book...it is cleverly and brilliantly written, and the incorporation of cats as main characters in this book is super cute! Miss Petifour has an amazing and intricate brain...all of her connections to connections in the moment remind me of me! The formatting and illustrations are lovely, and it is wonderful how the author plays on words so expertly. Particular words are emphasized here and there intentionally or just because, and the stories are perfect for adults or children. The 'tail to paws' image in the book sticks with me. I just loved this book and have warm feelings from having read it! I highly recommend this book and was granted an ARC from NetGalley. Thank you! This is all my honest review. :)

Miss Petitfour enjoys having adventures that are "just the right size" for a "single, magical day." With her sixteen cats and the aid of a tablecloth as a makeshift balloon, Miss Petitfour soars — which is to say, she rises high in the air and flies — over her charmingly eccentric village, encountering adventures along the way. One never knows where the wind will take her in this delightfully seasonal collection of magical outings: perhaps to the aid of dearly loved friends and neighbors, including a hapless handyman and an onion-loving baby, or to a coconut-confetti parade, or in search of keys, lucky charms or even simply the perfect tablecloth for her next flight. A witty, whimsical, beautifully illustrated collection of tales that celebrate language, storytelling and all the pleasures of life, large and small!

This was a delightful read filled with joy and adventure that warmed my heart. I just couldn’t wait to see what Miss Petitfour and her friendly felines got up to next.

Filled with excitement, fun and adventure this beautifully illustrated book is sure to be a fan for all ages.

The ARC of this book was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The Further Adventures of Miss Petitfour was a very charming series of short stories, though I wish I had been able to read the physical copy rather than the ebook. The ebook wasn't able to capture the illustrations, typography, and spacing as well as a physical book could, I'm sure. Harkening back to Mary Poppins and The Phantom Tollbooth, Miss Petitfour's stories teach children words and literary devices in and amongst the whimsical, nonsensical stories. I found some of the self-admitted digressions and broken fourth walls a bit tedious, even if they were teaching moments, but overall enjoyed the silly meanderings of Miss Petitfour and her cats.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

The Further Adventures of Miss Petitfour is a whimsical and delightful, cozy read - perfect for lazy days.
I loved how each of the cats was introduced at the beginning of the book (and there's a lot of them) and the collection of stories within this book about Miss Petitfour and her adventures is so fun and beautifully illustrated.
I lobed the authors word play through this book and found it a fantastic book to expand on vocabulary for children. I'd say this book is aimed at aged 10+ due to the vocabulary used.
Children are bound to fall in love with Miss Petitfour and her cats. If you love quirky characters and reads, this is definitely a book you need to get!

A charming sequel with all the whimsy and word play that made me fall in love with the first book. Emma Block’s delightful illustrations perfectly bring the story to life.

What whimsical and delightful story created for all ages but I think ages 5 through 9 would like it best. Miss Petitfour lives in a delightful house in a delightful town with extraordinary characters who make each other delightful happy, and Miss Petitfour has a lot of cats that make her life truly entertaining. Plus while the story is entertaining and pure fun, the story will teach you a bit of grammar that will make you feel smart at the end.
The illustrations are wonderful

I want to Penguin Random House Canada and Netgalley for an advance copy of this delightful book

This is a delightful sequel, and its whimsy and quiet joy in the everyday was so soothing to read. I do think the first entry in the series is a bit stronger, but this book was certainly still very fun. In theory, I appreciate the didactic parts (teaching readers about puns, synonyms, digressions, etc.), though I do think the throwback approach to this might not work super well for all young readers.

‘The Further Adventures of Miss Petitfour’ was such a charming addition to the series. The adventures of the titular Miss Petitfour and her funny cats introduce young readers to new words and really build an impressive vocabulary. I highly recommend this for any young readers in your life. Or adults who enjoy a bit of whimsy :-)

A sweet and quirky story with characters you easily find yourself endeared to. I jumped into this series thanks to NetGalley and Random House Canada allowing me to review it pre-release. While I love the characters and the concept I found the story a little slow with not enough on the storyline. Children will love the cats, the characters, and the illustrations.

This is a darling children’s book. It teaches about homophones, rhymes, palindromes, and more. The illustrations are whimsical and the story is humorous and entertaining. I’m not a big cat person but despite the abundance of cats I really enjoyed the book. My only annoyance was the excessive use of long hyphenated last names. At times it became tiresome. Other than that, it was a wonderful, enjoyable collection of short stories centering around Miss Petitfour and her cars.

#thefurtheradventuresofmisspetitfour is an absolutely wonderful and delightful collection of childrens' stories. I read this book with my middle child and he absolutely loved the imagery in this book and the clowder of cats owned by Miss Petifour. For me this book brings back childhood memories is Mary Poppins and Pippi Longstocking. This a must read for the young and the young at heart 💓 📚🤓❤️

Thank you to #NetGallery and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for a review

This book brought happiness to my life. I LIKE IT!

This book is sweet, fun, cozy type of thing. The writing style is arranged for young kids, so I think around 5-6 years old and can be older, which is perfect because this is a middle grade book, BUT for adult who usually love middle grade or read quite a lot of middle grade books, I don't think all of them can digest it well. This book is perfect for adults who want to wake up their inner child. It reminds you of how fun to be kids, how magical their point of view are, and sometimes we just have to chill!
