MY REVIEW

Have you ever had one of those days when everything seemed off kilter? You know, the days when you picked up your gym bag, but what you needed was the music for your piano recital - or it seemed like everyone else had gotten a memo that you had somehow missed? Alycat is having one of those days. From the moment she comes downstairs to the kitchen and discovers gumbo for breakfast instead of beignets, she is sure that things have gone cattywampus.

Things don't make any more sense as she goes through her day. The bus runs its route backwards, the combination on her locker only works if she puts the numbers in reverse order, even her classes are the wrong way around in her schedule. What is going on? Despite the challenges of the crazy day, Alycat decides to make the best of it and she does a pretty good job of adapting to things being out of order.

The illustrations feature Alycat and her feline family and friends. Alycat's expressions show her surprise, confusion, and natural good humor. A page of tips in the back suggests ways to deal with your own cattywampus days, including "Don’t fur-get to count your blessings." and "Don’t make a meown-tain out of a molehill." This is a fun story for young readers who love cats, or who need a little encouragement when their days seem to go cattywampus on them
