It was a pleasure to receive my copy of Suzanne Morreale’s book, “Amara Sets Sail”. As a retired elementary school teacher, I was especially impressed how the author engages children, after reading the story, to search and identify animals in the book. The illustrations capture Amara’s adventures and are a delight to both adults and children. I highly recommend this book for your child’s library.

Amara sets sail is a cute picture book about a ship’s cat who is ready to find a home on land. She meets cats from several countries and has exciting adventures in each new place. I love the cute, colorful illustrations and the glimpse I get of different countries and cultures around the world. My granddaughter loved the book and children will enjoy seeing and learning a little about each new place Amara visits.

Amara Sets Sail from Suzanne Morreale is a joy to read! It’s a sweet story with adorable illustrations. I eagerly followed Amara the cat as she traveled to a variety of countries meeting other cats and having adventures along the way. The “search and find” addition at the end of the story adds even more enjoyment and empowerment for young readers. This is a book you and your child will enjoy reading many times. I highly recommend it!

This is an engaging book for children and anyone who loves cats! Amara is a sweet, lovable cat in search of the perfect home in exotic countries around the world. What a great way to introduce travel and culture to kids by following darling Amara as she finds friendship in foreign places. The illustrations capture Amara’s personality and emotions beautifully! I will be purchasing for the new toddlers in my family and for my adult children who are devoted cat owners.

I just read “Amara Sets Sail” by Suzanne Morreale with my young nephew and I’m not sure who enjoyed it more! We both loved the gentle telling of a wonderful “there’s no place like home” story full of fascinating places and interesting characters. The illustrations fit the story perfectly. My young nephew has already reserved another reading for later today. Highly recommended!

In this lovely picture book, Amara, a cat at sea, goes on a journey around the world in search of a place to call home. Readers will be enchanted with this delightful story and its beautiful illustrations, but most of all, they will fall in love with Amara. Children will also love the backmatter at the end, which will send them on a fun scavenger hunt through the illustrations.
Alyson Bowen –
So glad you enjoyed the scavenger hunt Tara!
