“Patrick’s adorable, perky red cat is the perfect powered, positive puss. Farrell’s simple, bold, and bright illustrations support and extend the cheeky, positive attitude…Sure to brighten anyone’s day if they’re feeling down—or superpowerless.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“With a tea towel for a cape, a striking red feline named Doodle Cat shows off ‘cool superpowers’...Bold, sketchlike illustrations accompany Doodle Cat’s childlike first-person narration, and goofy scenes of the happy companions suggest that friendship, replete with costume, is the ultimate superpower.”
—Publishers Weekly
“This exuberant, zany book full of giggles is also a warm-hearted story about friendship. Fans of the first Doodle Cat book, with its delightfully odd cast of characters, will love this new story just as much – its expressive illustration and unusual language is original and fun, and young readers will warm to the characters instantly.”
—Book Trust
“I love the simple illustrations in this book and the charming likability of Doodle Cat. I think it was just whimsical enough to make children use their imaginations to create their own superpowers. I enjoyed it and loved how it encouraged children to take the time to stop and think about how to love their friends well.”
—Avery Shelbourne, Bookseller Review, Fabled Bookshop & Cafe
“Doodle Cat has many superpowers when he wears his (tea towel) cape. When his friend Pangolin is sad, he has to bring out his most powerful move of all—a big, warm hug. It seems to do the trick! Suddenly, Pangolin has superpowers to flaunt next. Better find him a cape, too! Silly and adorable, Doodle Cat reminds us that some of the most heroic acts are the simplest ones. And having a cape helps, obviously.”
—Andrew King, Bookseller Review, University Bookstore
“Doodle Cat possesses the ultimate super power and best of all uses it for kindness and shares his secret with those in need. A powerful message that exudes confidence building, compassion and the power of friendship.”
—Jesica Sweedler DeHart, Librarian Review, Neill Public Library
