Synopsis

This book is the first in the Catnap Stories Series of Books for children, which have been written to educate children about the world in which we live in a fun way. Where they don't even realise they are learning. This first book subtly includes French in the story. If you're unsure of how to pronounce the French words or what they mean, there is a glossary at the back and pronunciation suggestions. Fun and learning for both adults and children.

To develop this book, we have used a special font designed around cats, created beautifully detailed illustrations and included little details throughout that children will love. Each book has been crafted with exceptional care and attention to detail.

About this title

About the Author

Heidi Bryant was born on 11th July. She has always lived in Kent, but worked in London since she was 18 years old. She has owned cats ever since she was nine and has two cats; (Tiesto and Eivissa). Heidi always loved reading and one of her favourite books that she read time and time again - was a short story called 'The Lonely House'. She also read all of the Roald Dahl books as well as the series 'Gobbolino the Witch's cat'. Heidi went to Fort Pitt Grammar School where she started learning languages (French, German and Spanish). Heidi furthered her studies at the Open University where she graduated with an Honour's Degree in Modern Languages. Not satisfied with just the one degree, she then decided to undertake a Master's Degree in Translation at London Metropolitan University. Heidi focused on her two favourite languages; French and Spanish. In 2018, she started learning Italian. Heidi had the idea to write 'The Adventures of Vince the Cat' when she sadly lost her beloved cat Mikki to old age in summer 2018. Heidi was totally devastated and so in order to keep the memories of her beautiful cats past and present - she decided to start writing adventure stories with the cats as the main characters. Having travelled extensively (without the cats!) through her work and personal life she has now combined her love of cats, her passion for languages and travel into these stories. Heidi's hope is that children will love reading these stories time and time again. She would like to inspire children to want to learn about cats (of course!), the wonderful world in which we live, foreign languages, cultures and customs.

Review

"Purrfect!"

A beautifully written and illustrated children’s story book. Whiskering you away to a world of adventure, travel, furry friends and new languages to learn! A must buy for a goodnight story as sleepy eyes close on the adventures of Vince for another day. More places, more adventures and more learning please... (R. Terry)

 

"Brilliant!"

I have purchased the e-version of this book and think it is a delightful story, combining beautiful illustrations with a story that is educational and will hopefully sew the seed in children to learn another language and find out more about another country. I look forward to receiving the hardback version and indeed future stories in this series. (J. Hughes)

 

“Fun and entertaining read!”

My five year old and I really enjoyed this book, a fun, entertaining and educational read which is well illustrated and well written - highly recommended and we are now looking forward to other books in the series!

(D. Jenner)

 

“Wonderful”

The Adventures of Vince the Cat is a really charming story, beautifully told, that is entertaining and subtly informative. The use of French words and phrases are cleverly integrated, which allow the reader to learn whilst not impacting enjoyment of the story. (Amazon Customer)
