Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This kept both of my kids' attention; we read it in one sitting. Because it is multiple stories, it could easily be broken up into shorter readings.

My son gave it two thumbs up (or really "a hundred-thousand-million thumbs up"). It has fun stories, characters, and hijinks. If you are reading it out loud to someone younger, it's fun to do different voices for the multiple characters - especially the villains. It also mixes in vocabulary words for kids to learn.

This was our first Cat Ninja book, but my son immediately asked for us to read more.

It kept my kids engrossed without the gross-out humor that you see in some of the other popular graphic novels aimed at elementary/middle grade kids. The grossest humor here is a villain bean that visits the ER when his attempt to gas a town backfires, but words like "fart" aren't used here. The humor in that situation is more the puns around a gassy bean than the actual acting of passing gas.

My kids loved the book and would definitely recommend it.
