Review by Kirkus Book Review

A young girl plays pretend cat until someone breaks her favorite mouse toy. Miss Meow, a young girl in a cat costume, believes she is a cat. She loves to cuddle and even purrs when scratched between her ears. As a hunter, she is swift at chasing her wheeled mouse toy. She hates to get wet and would rather lick herself clean than take a bath. Miss Meow even eats her snacks from a food bowl on the floor. She scratches when Felix, her little brother, pulls her tail, and she protects her things. When Miss Meow discovers her favorite toy mouse is destroyed, she yowls at Felix in anger, throwing a tantrum. But Felix notices a mysterious trail of paw prints that are not Miss Meow's, and soon the whole family works together to make a new furry friend. This is a sweet book about the joys of play, imagination, and animal friendship. It also touches on familiar social-emotional experiences, like getting angry, sharing, and getting along with siblings. The illustrations are bold and expressive, adding clues to how the mystery intruder came in. Miss Meow and her family have fair skin and different shades of brown hair. A sweet story for cat lovers.
