The Adventures of Aloysius

This little book is a collaboration between storyteller, Nancy Brady, and artist, Ella Schwartz. Nancy (a lifelong cat lover) provides the scene and Ella turns it into a picture suitable for adding colors.

** Whimsical, uplifting, captivating fun with an innovative potential interactive component that can benefit readers of all ages!! **
A volume, children's literature protagonist, series of adventures that will dazzle youths and also please any parents who might be reading with them, hearkening back to classic fables of the old world but also very modern and hip feeling. This could make an extraordinary film, series, franchise were it adapted by Dreamworks or Pixar, or even better Studio Ghibli! The premise and its capabilities truly are so potent and open-ended it could easily sustain for many more colorful episodes (beautiful illustrations, character designs would make great plushes or toys too <3) truly hope a sequel is in the works. I should also mention how awesome, inventive and visionary the idea of colorable pages is, allowing for personalizing, encouraging creativity and growth, and working artists' minds and dexterity for those who rise to the challenge. This could also be a fantastic exercise, tool for keeping sharp and perhaps aiding in therapy for individuals with diminishing memory or cognitive impairment. A brilliant venture magnificently executed I can't encourage enough that parents introduce their children and seniors to... <3

This is a children's book about an adventurous white feline (cat) named Aloysius. The thirteen stories are geared toward first, second, and third grade readers; however, as an adult (and the author), it also sparks the imagination of adults. Aloysius believes he is ordinary (if any cat is truly ordinary), but he is anything but. One could say he is magical!
Aloysius was a joy to write! E. Schwartz did a marvelous job (and she is a fantastic artist), and since they are in black and white drawings, the owner of a copy can color them.
