Simon’s Cat Vs. the World – Review and Giveaway!

October 10, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat60 Comments

It's a good thing this is 99% pictures because Boodie can't read

Hey Boodie, look what Simon’s cat is up to here!

Boodie, you will have to wait - I've got work to do!

Oh hi! We are engrossed in the latest book by Simon Tofield, Simon’s Cat Vs. the World!

Simon's cat shows other kitties the right ways to enjoy life

You’ve seen the YouTube videos, and you might have some of the other Simon’s Cat books too. Simon’s Cat Vs. the World is especially cool because it is color all the way through.

My human is probably going to stick these all over her MacBook - just so long as she does not stick them on me!

And along with seeing all the new ways that Simon’s cat and his kitten sidekick have found to have fun and get in trouble, you get a page of stickers too!

Even better, some of you lucky U.S. humans will get to see Simon Tofield in person! He is doing seven dates in November — if you live in one of these cities, mark your calendar:

Monday, November 18 at 7 PM
Brookline Booksmith, 279 Harvard St., Brookline, MA
Moderated by Jef Czekaj, author of Cat Secrets

Wednesday, November 20 at 7 PM
The Book Cellar, 4736-38 N. Lincoln Ave., Chicago, IL
Moderated by Anne Elizabeth Moore, School of the Art Institute of Chicago

Thursday, November 21 at 7 PM
Joseph-Beth Booksellers, 2692 Madison Rd., Cincinnati, OH
Cosponsored by The League for Animal Welfare

Saturday, November 23‚ time TBA
Miami Book Fair International at Miami Dade College, Wolfson Campus, Miami, FL
Exact program details TBA

Sunday, November 24 at 5:00 PM
Politics & Prose, 5015 Connecticut Ave. NW, Washington, DC

Monday, November 25 at 6:30 PM
New York Public Library, Mid-Manhattan Library, 455 Fifth Avenue at 40th St., New York, NY
Moderated by my pal, Stephanie Harwin, creator of Catsparella.com!

Tuesday, November 26 at 7:00 PM
Clinton Book Shop, 12 E Main St., Clinton, NJ
Cosponsored by my favorite rescue, Tabby’s Place!

I want you to have a copy too!

And yes, I am having a giveaway! In fact the publisher is letting me give away five copies of Simon’s Cat Vs. the World! The only catch is you have to live in the U.S. (Don’t worry, if you live outside of the U.S., you can still enter my Kitty Kick Stix giveaway!) Just leave a comment on my blog and tell me which state you live in. All the other ways to enter are optional but will get you more entries! And if you hate the Rafflecopter widget, just tell me in your comment and I will enter you manually. The giveaway closes on Monday night, October 14 at 11:59 PM! Good luck!

    As you know I now live in the state named after me, which means my human won’t get to see Simon Tofield at the NYPL. She haz a sad. Don’t tell her I posted this here but I think she misses New York furry much.
    Anyway, we love Simon’s Cat! And the book looks great!

    Simon’s Cat is always super funny especially with the addition of his kitty friend. I like to get a chance to enter I am a New York Cat through too far away to met Tofield in person.

    Mommy won that book for us on another blog so you don’t have to enter us. Simon is our idol ’cause he gets into gobs of mischief and never, ever gets in trouble. We never get any good authors here. The closest Tofield appearance is D.C. and that’s about 4 1/2 hours away. Sparkle, you Binga and Boodie should be careful if you try any of Simon’s antics. Remember, he’s a professional. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
