Review

In the children’s story Alycat and the Monday Blues author Alysson Foti Bourqui and illustrated by Chiara Civati come together to bring to life the story of a young cat.  With bright, colorful, and creatively fun pictures and a charming and enjoyable story about having the “Monday Blues,” this story is one that will captivate young readers.  It is also about dreaming and working together with friends.  This would be a fun book to be used in a library story time as well.
