Petula The Circus Cat – Contest Giveaway

A delightful new children’s book has just been released called Petula, The Circus Cat.  It follows the story of a cat with a very unique talent.

The story begins by introducing a homeless cat that shows up at the door of Mr. and Mrs. Bumble. They take her in, and even though the cat is scared and shy at first, Mrs. Bumble’s affection brings her out of her shell. They name her Petula, and she develops a trick of standing on her back feet and walking to Mrs. Bumble.

Interestingly enough, Petula’s trick is inspired by a real cat in author Marylouise Sholly’s life. “Petula, The Circus Cat is based on my own cat who actually does walk on the back of her feet for a short distance – she is my inspiration for this story,” says Sholly.

Bright lights, big city may sound exciting, but sometimes the quiet life is better, especially if you are a shy little cat like Petula, but her pet-parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bumble, may have other plans.

Parents and children alike will be captivated by Petula, The Circus Cat, with its colorful illustrations, a darling storyline, and the underlying message about the transformative power of love that Mr. Bumble and Mrs. Bumble discover through their experiences with Petula.
