Must read 🏆
I encourage you to check out "Rika Saves a Cat." It's wildly creative, with out-of-this-world designs and an engaging storyline.
A bright and cheerful story of a young space girl who is playing in the woods with her sister when they are suddenly called to help a creature in need. This story is sure to make children feel warm and good when reading it.
Rika and her little sister, Jari, live in the northern forest region of the largest planet of the universe: Venesha. Its appearance is vastly different from ours from a distance, but it does possess qualities found in our world: oceans, swamps, rivers, mountains, deserts, and plains. The two children (Jari and Rika) look slightly different from Earthlings, but each play as typical children do. They climb trees, play hide-and-seek, and are curious about the world around them.
While playing outside with Jari, Rika heard a strange sound, went to investigate, and discovered a scared baby kitten inside a hollowed-out log. Children will love the adorable uni-kitty (orange kitten with yellow horn). They'll probably yell they want a unicorn-kitty too. I know I wouldn't mind adopting one!
Rika and Jari could've left the animal to fend for itself, but they didn't. Instead, they nestled together on the forest floor, waiting patiently for the sweet furbaby's mother to return. Their patience and kind hearts paid off; momma cat and her baby were reunited, and momma cat was just as cute as her baby!
Rika Saves a Cat by Lamar and Liana Golden is a sweet, quick read that children will want to read often. The main story is less than 30 pages, with simple text and adorable illustrations. As a family of Star Wars fans, I liked Rika's Princess Leia hairstyle and her pointy ears (Artist: Veronica Guarino.)
Amazon's recommended reading age is baby-10 years. The color palette will capture a baby's eye; kids of all ages will adore the pictures, while the text will appeal to older children. This short story is perfect for children who are practicing reading alone.
I encourage you to check out Rika Saves a Cat and the author's other works. Their stories are wildly creative, with out-of-this-world designs and engaging storylines.
