Min: the Cat Who Guards the Castle is a brief children's book that stars a Manx-mix kitty that's on a quest to locate her owner's missing bookmark. She hunts down her leads, takes a nap (she is a cat, after all), and eventually cracks the case. The text and drawings are consistent with a small cat's POV, which is a cute touch. This is a story for very young kids, but adults who love cats will probably also enjoy.

Min a cat who guards the castle is a cute and simple story about, well, the cat who guards the castle!
While reading, it reminds me of my favorite childhood cartoon, Tom and Jerry. Every time it shows human characters, we only see their legs, as we experience the tale of the cat from PoV.
While reading, I had two notes in my mind. First, it would be great if there were some educational information about the birds. I know a bit about them, and it checks out, but it would be good to have confirmatio ...more

This sweet children’s story is about a cat named Min who loves her Princess and Prince and does what she can to help them. When some sentimental items go missing, Min joins her humans in the hunt to find them.
The illustrations were wonderful and so fitting to the story since they were drawn from Min’s point of view, meaning, the drawings show feet instead of faces.
The narrative is strong and easy to follow. Kids and adults who adore cats (that’s me!) should enjoy this quick read.

This is a fun story about a cat who is a bit of a sleuth and detective, as well as a hero. It is quite short for adults, but makes a perfect tale for children or pet lovers. While I am more of a dog person myself, I found it quite warm and inviting. Kids and parents will both get a kick out of following the little adventure and mystery regarding missing items that the royalty of the castle are searching for, plus some humor and naps along the way. Recommended.
Cute book!
This story is about a cat called Min who guards the castle, and helps look for a missing bookmark and pen belonging to the Prince and Princess.
Loved the illustrations and the clever way they told the story from Min's perspective (seeing feet rather than faces). Other animals are introduced including the bowerbird. It teaches kids that even small creatures can help.
Overall, a lovely tale that can be enjoyed by the target audience. ...more

Really enjoyed this. Min is such a sweet character and we loved how everything is shown from the cats perspective - you only see peoples legs and feet which is a clever touch! Nice illustrations throughout and not too long for bedtime reading.
Good for the age range, would definately recommend if your looking for something a bit different.
