Book Tour: Maggie the Cat Loves Pip's Thanksgiving Surprise (Maggie the Cat #2) by Julia Russo with my review



Maggie the Cat Loves Pip's Thanksgiving Surprise

Maggie the Cat Book 2

by Julia Russo

Children's Book

Date Published: October 15th

Publisher: Jan-Carol Publishing, Inc.


 

Wonderful illustrations bring us back up to Grandpa's mountain farmhouse for a Thanksgiving homecoming. Pip will soon have a Thanksgiving surprise, but what exactly will it be? Will it have to do with the treats in the oven? Pecan pie with oatmeal? Cornbread? Dutch apple pie? Mmmmm, they all smell so good!

Will it have to do with a new park for all of the children to play in, being built at a neighbor's farm? Wow! A brand new park where everyone, and I mean everyone, is working very hard. Will it have to do with little Barney who is the littlest goat ever and who is really working hard and chomp chomp chomping away to make the park soft and free of brush?

Or finally, will it have to do with Pip's best friend ever, Maggie? Read along, and let's find out together. We don't have that long. Thanksgiving is coming very soon!

 





My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 
An interesting story. I enjoyed the little rhymes within, the animals in the family, and finding a way to make all happy. The countdown to Thanksgiving in the chapter titles showed the excitement of Wilhelmina as family and the holiday came closer. The list of vocabulary words at the end of the book was unexpected. It should allow parents to work with their children to learn new words and understand them. Wonderful story. The illustrations were well drawn and delightful.

About the Author

Julia Russo spent many winters in the mountains along with her little dog, Chloe, and her sweet husband, Kent. She continues to live in Atlanta but her heart is really in those woods. 

One of her favorite things ever was hearing her first graders read aloud. She sometimes wrote for the government and companies, and later wrote descriptions of homes. She even spent time as what is called a roustabout!

After her debut book, Maggie the Cat Who Came Home for Christmas, released in 2023, Julia is excited to continue the series. She visits her mountainside cabin often. One of these days, she’s hoping to get a little goat.
