OMG I loved these stories told by Freddie and his "Mum". All the kitties and other animals that lived in the garden.
The how and whys of getting there and all the fun they have

ARC received by NetGalley. Thank you!

A perfect read for lovers of our feline friends!

As a cat lover I appreciated the whimsy that this book provided. It follows the story of a family of cats using the unique POV at the cats themselves. Simply adorable and perfect for a younger audience.

I read this with my nearly 9 year old daughter who loves cats of all kinds. It was instantly attracting to her and she enjoyed Freddy's adventures.

Quaint and enjoyable. This is an "escape" book, not a heavy piece of literature. Freddy is whimsical and fun.

A must read and a perfect story if you are a cat lover. Freddy is such a sweet boy and the book made me smile and some parts made me think about my cats.
Loved the style of writing and the cats.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

Told in a first person point of view by Freddy (a stray kitten turned contented house cat), his human Mum, and other felines, this is a sweet book filled with wonderful stories of how Freddy and his sister were saved from a hard life in a vacant lot, learned to live with their adopted Maine Coon siblings, and saw their feline family and friendships grow over the years.

Anyone who knows me in real life knows I'm a sucker for animals, especially cats. (I have two rescue kitties of my own, but they are only the latest in a long line of rescues stretching back to childhood.) I loved reading the stories told from the cats' POVs. So charming and alternating between funny, heartwarming, and heart-wrenching. The photos of Freddy and his feline buddies are adorable!

Overall, it's a cute book and a fairly quick read. If you love watching cat videos on Instagram or TikTok, you'll love reading Freddy's Magic Garden by Angelina Dayan.

This is for any cat or animal lover. its a heart warming stories from the point of both human and cat which makes a fun and enticing read. I love the way this is written it left me very emotion through out. I was laughing and crying which my poor partner didn't understand.
I love any book about cats and this is no exception its is inspiring and funny. I read this quickly and was so sad when it ended but I was uplifted by this story and it made me hug my own cat to me and wonder what stories he could tell me.
Thank you to Netgalley/Anhelina Dayan for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
