Praise for Christmas Cats Series by Constance Corcoran Wilson:
“The Christmas Cats is such a fun read I love the rhyming tale of being non judgemental, and the importance of helping others, and the reminder that when the work is done it’s time to play! This book is sure to become a favorite with youngsters, the colorful illustrations are sure to capture their eye as well as their imagination. Perfect for gift giving, a great little book that teaches a few valuable life lessons while using simple enough language that will allow them to read along. A recommended Christmas read that put a smile on my face.”-Brenda C., VW Stitcher
“Author Constance Corcoran Wilson has created a fun story with THE CHRISTMAS CATS CHASE CHRISTMAS RATS that helps to not just entertain the reader but teach important lessons as well.
Just in time for the holidays we are able to see how a group of Christmas Rats are just misunderstood and judged prematurely, when they are really a big help to those who appreciate it. The story also allows us to see that when it comes to where we can find friends and some of our greatest allies, the answer may not be too far away from us.
Witty and engaging, this book in the series is a guaranteed winner for readers of all ages.”- Cyrus Webb,TOP 500 Amazon Reviewer
“This is a delightful book that any child will enjoy having read to them or reading themselves. The rhymes are constant and sharp. It’s the sort of book where children will love to shout out loud the words as they search along with the Christmas Cats for the bats. The illustrations, once again, are brilliant. They are colourful and engaging and capture the pure zany fun this book offers. I can highly recommend this one for the Christmas stocking. Your children will love it.”- Susan Day, Author/Illustrator Astro’s Adventures)

An obnoxious drone in a bee hive tries to wrest power from the Queen Bee by scheming with a less-prosperous hive. Donnie Drone creates chaos when his underhanded scheme succeeds. Donnie Drone will look familiar. The actions recounted in the parable are recent history. This is a quick, amusing read with wonderful illustrations. All of us should take our responsibility to vote seriously and elections must be fair, not hacked. Go to the polls for ALL elections.
