Review Detail

Cat Loaf Adventures is a delightful graphic novel by kat.ariyan that follows a cat-shaped bread loaf and its friends, Rye Loaf and Tabby Loaf. There are multiple short stories told within the book, and each one is more creative and entertaining than the last. I especially loved the storyline where Cat Loaf becomes friends with one of the mousse mice living in the bakery. Rosie the mousse mouse dreams of illustrating her own stamps, and with plenty of encouragement from Cat Loaf, she sets out to make her dream come true.

What I Liked: This is easily one of the most original graphic novel concepts I have come across. A loaf of bread shaped like a cat sounds incredibly weird (and it is), but it totally works, and that is exactly what makes this book so much fun. Even though my ARC of Cat Loaf Adventures only featured a few pages in color, it's clear that the bright, pastel illustrations are absolutely adorable and elevate the story. Plus, the book is packed with genuinely funny bread puns that will make readers of all ages chuckle.

Cat Loaf Adventures is a unique and humorous graphic novel that young readers will enjoy.
