Umm… okay! As the title says, Meow is not a cat but a kid. He’s active, energetic, and a wee bit different. He likes to ask questions and wonder why we should stay quiet when the sign says walk left or why the monkeys get all the bananas while the kids end up with none. Naturally, his antics get him into trouble. But he manages to save the day by coming up with a unique idea.

The illustrations are cute and funny. The book is lighthearted and entertaining. Just that I’m not sure what it teaches the kids. Of course, it does show that asking questions and thinking differently from others is not wrong. Guess that is the moral of the book. Though, maybe kids should also be taught about being careful as they could end up hurting themselves and others.

Oh, wait! The book talks of sharing. That could also be the lesson. I prefer my interpretation, though.

I received an ARC from NetGalley, FDI Publishing, and Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) and am voluntarily leaving a review.
