Book Revew: Grady the Gray Cat Gets Adopted AND Grady the Gray Cat Gets a toy Fire Truck, Written by Lori A. Moore, Illustrations By Justin Stier

I wish Grady would come
out of this book so we
could play!

Happy Monday everyone! It's Cody and I am so excited to tell you about a book that I read this weekend with my Mom! Actually the COOL THING is it's "TWO, TWO, TWO BOOKS IN ONE!!" Wait a few and I will tell ya!

I love you Grady,
you are GRAY like ME!

One of the reasons I was excited to read these books is because the star of the books is, what else? A GRAY KITTY!! A gray kitty named "Grady!"

The first book I read was Grady the Gray Cat Gets Adopted
Hey!  I'm gray and I was adopted!!

"Grady is a little gray cat,
Whose home was a cage in a store where he sat.
He wanted to live with a mom and a dad.
'Cause living alone made him very sad."

I remember when I lived
in a cage and was sad too.

Mom and I loved this book because it reminded us of the day that Mom adopted me and I went to live with she and Daddy. The story is about Grady being adopted and going to live   with his new Mom and Dad and his kitty sisters and realizing just how much he is loved. It talks about all of the fun things that he does during the day which is shown in beautiful illustrations done by Justin Stier.

Then, when you finish that story you see:

And...look on the bottom right corner of the cover!

See? I told ya it is TWO BOOKS IN ONE!

The second book is Grady the Gray Cat Gets a toy Fire Truck, it also has catabulous illustrations created by Justin Stier.

"Grady's uncle is a fireman, and he brought him a new toy.
His uncle liked to bring things for his little nephew boy.
His uncle's name was Andy, and he was a fire captain.
He would tell Grady stories about the fires that had happened."

Grady learned all about what fire trucks do  and he would pretend he was sliding down a fire pole!

I loved these books because of the gray kitty Grady, but Mom especially loved them because they both have a distinct message about kindess, being good and feeling loved. They are written for children ages 5-8 and make the pawfect bedtime story because they are a super fast read. Don't let the "fast" part fool ya though, they are fun, thought provoking and charmingly engaging!

Here is a special treat for you! This is the ACTUAL Grady that the books were written about!
