What a wonderful wonderful book!

Just loved the illustrations and particularly the message of the book which is "Do it for the sheer love of it!".

Callie Cat, Ice Skater

This is the second time I have given the book "Callie Cat, Ice Skater" as a gift. It is an adorable story with a wonderful, non-preachy message, "Winning is not always the most important thing. Sometimes we need to do something for the sheer joy of doing it!" MAJ

The enthusiastic artwork of a playful cat and her animal friends adds the perfect touch to this hear

Callie Cat, Ice Skater is a children's picturebook about the joy of doing something one loves for its own sake. Young Callie Cat enjoys ice skating on the pond in her backyard, more than chocolate cake or going to the mall. When the Honeybrook Ice Rink announces a contest, it could be Callie's big chance to win the prize - but is winning the prize what she really wants to do? When another skater achieves an even better performance, she's heartbroken at first, until she remembers that skating can be joyful fun for its own sake. The enthusiastic artwork of a playful cat and her animal friends adds the perfect touch to this heartwarming story.
