Alycat and the Sleepover Saturday (Alycat #6)Alycat and the Sleepover Saturday by Alysson Foti Bourque
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a fun book about a sleepover with Alycat and her friends. There is a cake drop (sounds like a bunch of yummy fun!), some scary ghost stories, and Luna's big secret. No dogs or mice are allowed at this sleepover that is full of fun for all!

Alycat and the Sunday Scaries (Alycat, #7)Alycat and the Sunday Scaries by Alysson Foti Bourque
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sundays are scary to Alycat because it means the next day is Monday. She's concerned that she may have a surprise quiz or that her shoes won't be right. Her mom sends her out to the park to play with her friends. Along the way, Alycat and her friends help a few people overcome their fears, which in turn, helps Alycat with hers.

This is a cute book about the value of friendship. It'd be a great book to share with the small children in your life. The illustrations are very well done. They are colorful and grab the attention of the reader.

Alycat and the CopycatAlycat and the Copycat by Alysson Foti Bourque
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's science fair day and Alycat has on the PURR-fect shirt! She's excited to show off her exploding volcano to the class. When she gets on the bus, Lucy has on the same shirt and then she sets up the same experiment. This is upsetting to Alycat but even more so, when she realizes she doesn't have any baking soda for her experiment to work. Both Alycat and Lucy learn an important lesson in this great book.

The main theme of this book is that "two things are better than one" and the value of appreciating those around you. There is a STEM activity in the back of the book teaching the reader how to make an exploding volcano science experiment.

Alycat and the Christmas Cookie SwapAlycat and the Christmas Cookie Swap by Alysson Foti Bourque
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It's Christmas time and Alycat is hosting a cookie swap with her friends. She's excited to make her cookies 'n cream cookies to share with her friends. One of her friends isn't able to show up so there are 1o extra cookies. Not knowing for sure what they should do, Alycat asks her mom for advice and gets a great idea. That idea leads to a mystery to be solved!

A super cute holiday book that is great to share with people of all ages. It'd be fun to read this book and then make some Christmas cookies together and host your own cookie swap with friends!
