Lazy Cat Hero: The Rise of The Nap

Bubastis the cat is too lazy to get up in the morning and too lazy to go to sleep at night—and yet he has great adventures! Author and hard-flying journalist Stanford Crow now presents Bubastis’ full origins in Lazy Hero Cat: The Rise of the Nap –including the stories, “Lazy Hero Cat of Egypt,” “Lazy Hero Cat and the Pirates,” and “Lazy Hero Cat and the Dragon.” From tomb-robbers in Egypt to pirates on the high seas to a fearsome dragon, children are invited to laugh and read along as Bubastis naps through danger seemingly at every turn!

How can Bubastis be SO lazy and still come out on top?

This book was given to me in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

My rating: five of five stars

This is a book about a very lazy cat who somehow manages to always come out on top. The illustrations are colorful and fun and each page includes four blue scarabs for the kids to find while you are reading. This might be a better book for me to have in paperback as the girls kept turning the pages. They did love the book! This book comes with three stories about the Lazy Hero Cat. Below are my favorite parts of each story.

Part 1: Lazy Hero Cat of Egypt - He ultimately saves the queens tomb from would be thieves by doing absolutely nothing.

Part 2: Lazy Hero Cat and the Pirates - In a series of unlikely happenings, he ends up on a pirate ship. Then when he is too lazy to catch rats, he is made to walk the plank. Lets just say the story ends with him right back on an island, dreaming of napping some more.

Part 3: Lazy Hero Cat and the Dragon - This last story made me laugh out loud.
The lazy cat manages to be eaten by the dragon but in the end comes out on top (literally) of the dragon who befriends the lazy cat and they fly away together.

I simply loved this book and my girls did too (ages 6, 7, and 9). It kept them entertained and finding the scarabs helped too. =) I give this one five out of five.
