My Review
In this book “Sammy Catches the Gloomy Loomies” from the Sammy’s CatVentures series, Sammy is usually a very happy, jolly cat, but he wakes up with the Gloomy Lommies which is a kind of flu. The book takes you on a wild adventure of going to the doctor, getting a cure and the fun it causes. I really liked this book. The pictures are so colorful and full of fun. A child could just look at the pictures to know the story, but you wouldn’t want to miss all of the fun with the words. This is a wonderful, amazing book. It will make your child laugh and he will want to have you read it again and again. This book is about spreading the healing power of laughter. A wonderful book that you should buy for the young ones in your life. Really a happy, positive book. Hayley L. Howell is a wonderful story teller.
