Hi everyone! I have a great book to tell you about today. I was honored to receive an autographed copy in the mail.
*I received a free copy of Pirates & Pussycats: The Hunt for White Tail’s Treasure by Kerry Barbero and M,E. Watson in exchange for a fair review. All opinions are my own.
I am sure most of you are familiar with Princess Erin’s blog and Angel Valentine’s as well. This book is about their alter egos, Captains Erin S’Ears and Valentino Shapur. When Captain S’Ears’ ship is hijacked by some nasty mice she and her crew are rescued by Captain Valentino. From then on they watch out for each other and become friends. I don’t want to give away anything crucial to the plot so I will leave it at that.
The book was written for kids over age 8, but I think it works for adults too. It is a nice mix of mystery, adventure, romance and comedy. I recommend it for anyone that likes adventure and of course, cats. The cover is a work of art I would like to frame too. I can’t wait to read it with my great-nieces when they have time (those kids are so busy).
Friday wanted to pose because she is a tuxie like Captain Erin and Trouble wanted to pose because she looks a bit like Captain Valentine.

Thank you for such a delightful review. And for you Friday and trouble posing with the cover. You know I bet both could have roles if they make a movie version 😉
We are so pleased you liked the adventure and that you want to read it to your great nieces. I wonder which of the cast they will fall in love with?
Kerry, Mrs H and I had heaps of fun creating this, and we think the readers will love the result.
Appreciative purrs
ERin & Mrs H
They would love roles or could even be stand ins. 🙂 I would love to see a movie version. Thank you for the chance to review it.
What a great review! That really sounds like an intriguing book! Love the pictures of your kitties with the book cover, too! XO
Thank you. They are good posers. XO
What fun!! And how nice that your kitties were able to be standing for Erin and Angel Valentine.
Thank you. 🙂 XO
Well, this sounds great! But mama is re-reading all of Louise Penny’s books set in the little town of Three Pines …mama loves her characters, especially the old degenerate poet Ruth whose companion is a duck. Will take a look at your reviewed book.
That sounds like a fun series. XO
That sounds like a lovely book and the cover is beautiful. Friday and Trouble have posed nicely with the book.
Thank you. 🙂 XO
I’m glad you received the book, had a chance to read it, and give us a review. Mrs H is a great writer. Also enjoy seeing the girls show off the book. Happy Monday
Yes, it is a good book. XO
What a nice review! The book sounds interesting and I see Friday and Trouble approve!
Thank you. 🙂 XO
If Friday and Triuble like it…I will too!
Yes, you will. XO
TROUBLE, for goodness sake.
No worries. 🙂 She looks like a tribble from Star trek. XO
I have the book and hopefully will read it soon. I was saving it because I’m on call for jury duty and thought I could bring it with me if I have to go. Glad you gave it a thumbs up!
Hope you won’t have to go. You will like the book though. XO
Great review!!! I started a book before the Christmas eve Crud landed on us. Couldn’t concentrate much so I might need to start again. It was a book mystery. Hugs Cecilia

I am always hooked on illustrations in children’s books. You are right about the cover… it’s delightful! I love kid’s books that work for adults. I still read them even if they are for kids because I am still a kid at heart. I will be clicking your link, Ellen. Thanks for the review!
Glad you are a kid at heart. 🙂 I am too. XO
What a fun book and your models are super!

This sounds like a delightful book. I like to read this kind with my grandkids, but unfortunately, they live a four and a half hours drive away.
Sorry they are so far away. My great- nieces are only 30 minutes away and it is too far.
