Felix is not a happy cat beacuse everyone keeps blaming him for everything. Illustrated by Beccy Blake.
Quick Summary
If your kid loves stories about mischievous pets, or if they're the type who sometimes gets blamed for things they didn't do, Felix is about to become their new best friend. This little cat has had enough everyone around him keeps pointing fingers his way, and poor Felix can't catch a break. The humor comes from how dramatically he reacts to being framed for everything from knocked-over vases to missing treats, and the simple, expressive illustrations bring his over-the-top expressions to life in a way that will have kids giggling on every page. At just 176 words with an AR level of 1.1, it's perfect for early readers who want to feel like a "big kid" reading chapter books, but it's also a fantastic read-aloud choice for parents and toddlers snuggling together. There's nothing scary here just relatable drama and slapstick comedy that works equally well for a reluctant reader needing a quick win or a confident reader looking for something fun and light. If your child enjoyed "The Bad Seed" or stories about animals getting into trouble, this one's a natural next pick. It's the kind of quick, charming tale that makes kids say "read it again!" and gives parents that rare moment of seeing their kid genuinely excited about reading on their own.
