The Pinchers and the Curse of the Egyptian Cat by Anders Sparring

4.0

The Pincher family are all thieves and liars. They love to steal and cheat, except for Theo who gets a stomachache if he tries to tell a lie or do anything dishonest. It doesn't help that their next-door neighbor is a policeman! When Theo and his sister quarrel over an old cat statue, they break the statue and unleash the curse of the Egyptian cat! Their moralities are switched, and not Theo wants to steal and cheat, and his sister wants to be honest. Can they get switched back or will Theo be cursed to a life of crime?

This book is hilarious! It's so funny to see parents doing the opposite of what would be normal, encouraging their kids to lie and steal. Poor Theo, he just doesn't fit in. He's too honest and good. This book had me laughing and chuckling at all the silly escapades of the Pincher family. I really liked that, although his family has different values, Theo recognizes what is truly valuable in this world and it isn't expensive baubles or shiny jewelry.

I loved the fun illustrations in each chapter and the cute character designs! What a fun book!
