Book Review: Time Cat by Lloyd Alexander

Author: Lloyd Alexander
Title: Time Cat:The Remarkable Journeys of Jason and Gareth
Narrator: Ron Keith
Publication Info: Recorded Books, Inc., 2019 (originally published 1963)
Summary/Review:

I love stories about cats and I love stories about time travel, and yet I made it this far in my life unaware of this book about a time traveling cat! In this story we learn that it’s incorrect to say that cats have nine lives.  Instead, cats may travel to nine different periods in world history, which is why cats seem to go missing so easily or appear in rooms they weren’t previously in.  A boy named Jason discovers that his cat Gareth can talk and joins his cat on a whirlwind of adventures to ancient Egypt, Roman Britain, 17th century Germany at the height of witchcraft hysteria, and Massachusetts at the start of the Revolution.  Somehow a lot of their adventures involve groups of kittens which just heightens the cuteness.  It’s a fun, gentle novel with some history mixed in.  It’s perfect for kids who love adventure, time travel, and cats, even if they’re in their 50s.

Recommended books:

• Time Traveling with a Hamster by Ross Welford
• The Cat Who Saved Books by Sōsuke Natsukawa
• Bunnicula: A Rabbit-Tale of Mystery by Deborah Howe
• Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede

Rating: ****

Thank you to all who boosted & funded my Kickstarter! It just ended, 131% funded & I have what I need to fund the audiobook of LITANY FOR A BROKEN WORLD & manage the pledge perks.

I'm so grateful. This was a gamble & I had no idea how it would go. It's not easy for me to do the self-promo thing. I honestly thought it would fizzle.

The audiobook corrections are in process. It should be out by the end of summer, if not before.
