THE CIRCUS OF CATS IN VENICE (Preorder - Release Date November 25, 2025)
THE CIRCUS OF CATS IN VENICE is a deluxe, collectible, oversized edition about Antonio, a street cat, who was born with a rusty spoon in his mouth, so to speak. His life began as a stowaway on an abandoned gondola in Venice. He was raised by his mother in a tough cat neighborhood—Santa Lucia Railway Station. One day, when he meets a unique clown, Sir Maximus, who trains cats to perform circus acts, his life takes a turn for the better. Tune in to see how a cat, who begins his circus career flying—accidentally—into the arms of a young, surprised but delighted girl in the front row, becomes one of the Circus' best performers. This is definitely "The Greatest Show on Earth!” Publishers Weekly Booklife writes: “A cat learns the value of perseverance to achieve his dreams.”

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BOOKLIFE REVIEW
This encouraging picture book for children from Viviana Falleti (The Cats’ Museum) introduces an orange-striped tabby cat named Antonio, who learns the value of perseverance to achieve his dream of being a circus star. Born on an abandoned gondola on the Grand Canal in Venice, Antonio survives a rough-and-tumble childhood and a great many cat fights. As a young adult, he is approached by a clown who introduces himself as Sir Maximus and offers Antonio a chance to try out for the Circus of Cats. Delighted, Antonio walks with a spring in his step to the audition, where he is given the chance to join the Circus on a trial basis.
On the night of his first performance, Antonio is excited as he takes the stage. Unfortunately, his routines don’t exactly go to plan—in one instance, he trips and launches himself into the audience, and another time, he accidentally claws the back of a clown, and so many more mishaps happen. Afterwards, Antonio slinks away, embarrassed, certain that his brief career as an acrobat is over. The next day, however, his new friend Lulu shows up to revive his flagging spirits and remind him that everyone makes mistakes, especially when they are learning something new. This gives Antonio the courage to return to the Circus and try again, which will encourage kids to give themselves the same kind of grace.
Victoria Fomina’s dreamy illustrations show Antonio and his fellow circus performers wandering and wheeling through a stylized imagination of Venice, complete with historic architecture, curling blue waves, and the moon hanging large and low in a cerulean sky dotted with stars. The vibrant layouts of lively, multicolored cats leaping through hoops, balancing on blocks, and riding rocking horses in frilly gowns will intrigue and captivate. Ultimately, kids will get a boost from Antonio’s tenacity, as they encounter and overcome their own challenges.
Takeaway: A cat learns the value of perseverance to achieve his dreams.

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 🎄
“The Cat’s Museum" is an enchanting book that will captivate young readers. Its combination of fun adventures and educational content makes it a must-read for children and cat enthusiasts alike. Highly recommend!
Great story with whimsical illustrations. Highly recommend, especially for families with cats 🐱
This is a wonderful book for children of all ages. The storylineand bright colorful pictures in the book are illustrated beautifully.All seven cat tales are unique and will keep children interested throughout the book. King Avalanche The Great is a book that children will want to read more then once.
My daughter just adores this book! We’ve read most of the stories twice already. They are so engaging and the endings so clever! Love love love!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this sweet and wholesome book. The vivid stories brought back all the fond memories of the mischievous, as well as sweet cats I had encountered throughout the years. The illustrations are beautiful and further enhanced my reading experience.
Excellent book. Nice big pictures and great story. Will recommend
Wonderful story with outstanding illustrations.
Not just for the kids - the whole family loved it!
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.
