I read this book at my schools mystery reader. The kids loved it!! It’s a beautiful story of telling the traditional value of Christmas!

Absolutely adore this Christmas story! I love how it creates a story around Catholic (and Christian) traditions while telling the story of the Christmas tree. Being the daughter of a German Immigrant, I especially love the inclusion of the Christmas Candle Pyramid 🎄

As a dedicated cat lover, I find it wonderful to see books like this that encourage little ones to pay attention to history and felines! This book, taking place at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, tells stories about cats based on the true tale of Catherine the Great, who loved cats as much as I do! Her collection of cats started with three, then grew into dozens, all taken care of very well. But they ran the museum, and their stories show up as illustrations and anecdotes in this book in funny tales with lessons to learn!

I love children's books, especially because they are fun to read about, and their illustrations are fascinating and enchanting. The Cats' Museum by Viviana Falleti is among these books that do not fail to entertain even adults like me. In this book, we are shown a story of stray cats who were hired to protect the Hermitage Museum of Catherine the Great. The year was in 1766. I didn't expect to love this story. It was charming and touching at the same time. I love that I connected well to it. And with that, I am sure that children will love this as much, without a doubt. It was well-narrated, and the illustrations are top quality. I would definitely recommend it!

This book brilliantly blends fiction and historical facts. Based on the true story of the Hermitage cats, The Cats' Museum introduces us to a group of felines who not only guard the museum, but have fun in the process. Children will learn how these cats became historic guardians, but always with a touch of humor and tenderness. The illustrations are stunning, making each page a work of art in itself. A book with a message about how little mischief also has a purpose.

The Cats' Museum tells us the story of some very special cats who, since the 18th century, have been guarding the works of art at the Hermitage, the famous museum in St. Petersburg. Although their mission is serious, these felines can't help but get into mischief. Through a mix of true story and humor, children will discover how cats have been part of Russia's cultural heritage. Victoria Fomina's gorgeous illustrations make this book even more charming, making it a unique visual experience. An entertaining and educational read for the little ones.

“The Cats’ Museum" is the kind of book that makes you think that cats really do have secret lives. Viviana Falleti tells us how Catherine the Great decided that cats were going to be the new guardians of the Hermitage, so that rats wouldn't take over the place. But of course, these felines weren't going to just sit there doing nothing. On the contrary, they spend the night exploring, playing and dancing around the museum. Victoria Fomina's illustrations are a delight. Each page is so colorful and full of details that they immediately draw you in. I love how the author mixes real history with that fantasy that makes children instantly hooked. It's a fun way to learn some history, but without being boring. This book is ideal for those family reading moments. Plus, it's so cute that you'll want to have it on your bookshelf.

This book, “The Cats’ Museum,” is quite a discovery. The story is about how Catherine the Great, realizing that rats were taking over the Hermitage, decided to call some cats to take care of them. But it’s not all that simple, because these cats have their own plan. After eating, they jump, dance, and explore the museum, causing chaos everywhere. Victoria Fomina’s illustrations bring the whole story to life. They are so beautiful and detailed that you can’t stop looking at them. I love how the cats seem to have their own personalities, and how the author makes us think that maybe they really do lead a secret life that we don’t know about. It’s a book that has magic, humor, and a touch of real history. Perfect for children to enjoy, and adults too.

“The Cats’ Museum" is a super charming book that takes you straight to the 18th century. Catherine the Great, who was already an empress, decides to hire stray cats to protect her beloved Hermitage Museum from rats. But of course, what she didn't imagine is that those cats wouldn't just stop at hunting. Not at all! After their feast of caviar and fish, they go on a rampage in the museum, doing their thing. Viviana Falleti tells the story in a very funny way, and Victoria Fomina's illustrations are wonderful, with all those cats jumping around the halls. The images are so detailed that it seems like you can actually see the felines dancing or jumping from the lamps. It's the kind of book you want to read over and over again, especially if you're a cat fan. A very cute book for anyone who wants to laugh and see how cats are much more mischievous than we think.
