Print The Cat Inspector mini A6 book for 1-4yr old

Aim

The aim of this project is to print 100 of these mini books and send them out to you guys. I want my book to be affordable to everyone.

My name is Katy and I am an artist, illustrator and author and I made this book called The Cat Inspector amongst others.  I want to get the story into more hands without the high print on demand prices that come with buying from online stores.

So I am hoping to give away 100 mini A6 sized books, with the costs covering postage and packaging and crowdfunder fees.

The story is about a little girl who thinks she is in charge and goes around telling a cat off for doing cat-like things.  It's rhythmical and colourful and kids love it.  It's suitable to be read to ages 1-4 years old.

Create lasting memories.
A family favourite.
A joy to read aloud.
One to read over and over again.
Children get a chance to participate.
Good for playing with sounds and rhythm.
It encourages your child to read alone.

Want to read some reviews - read on!

what caught my eye was the colourful pictures & I like cats too. Very easy to read

 My seven-year-old and I love this. My seven-year-old loved reading it on her own and love spotting the spider on every page. We all know the cat wasn’t really naughty. The cat being rainbow coloured added to a rather cute surrealism vibe. Any cat owners will relate to feline antics  Over all a gorgeous quirky and colourful picture book.

 I thoroughly enjoyed reading it ,had me howling .
Very colourful book and naughty curios cats .
Made me remember how many questions childrens ask.

I absolutely adore the illustrations and so did my little one during his night time read tonight. The book is all about the adventures of a very naughty cat.
The cat is always up to no good until the cat finally makes the right choice. This book is tailored towards a younger audience as my little one had quite a giggle.

This book made me reflect on my own younger reading days. The thoughtfulness and love encouraged me to keep reading on. My little one asked if we could re-read it once done.

What a brilliant, well thought out little story. I'm a grown up and I really liked the book, so I would hope alot of children will feel the same. The drawing and illustrations are just wonderful. It so reminded me of my Mum's cat Olive.

The book has these benefits:

Enhance understanding and and joining in

Capture children's attention quickly

Conveys emotions effectively

Supports early literacy development

Rhymes help children hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds, laying the groundwork for reading. 

The predictable rhythm of rhymes makes it easier for children to remember and recall information. 

Rhymes provide opportunities for children to expand their vocabulary and understand the structure of language. 

The rhythmic patterns and repetition in rhymes enhance pattern recognition skills, which are essential for learning complex concepts. 

The playful and entertaining nature of rhymes captures children's attention and fosters a love for reading.
