I liked story, it was a cute story of a mischievous cat and the troubles he would get himself into . So, for this story and the beautiful illustrations I wish to recommend this for kids ages 4-8:

I have no little children or grandchildren to read to, I'm just nuts about cats. ("I have seven, one for each day of the week, but everybody gets loved and fussed over every day. This is a charming story, told in rhyme. I" loved it.

CATASTROPHE

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2017

Clio is a mischievous cat who lives in the village of Nitzan but prefers hanging out in the yard of the Bar-Giora family. Uri becomes particularly fond of the cat; he feeds him a piece of meat daily. Uri's wife, Rivka, does not share his enthusiasm. During the day Clio wanders the town causing mayhem and destruction. Uri persists in his devotion, after a time, his wife becomes more tolerant of the cat.

The tale is funny and illustrated with bright colorful illustrations. Perhaps the story would have worked better in prose; the rhyme is often forced and jarring. Children in the four to eight age range who enjoy cats and humor will enjoy reading the book.

Great illustrations full of emotion

Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2017

Delightfully illustrated, with a delightfully grumpy mom who really doesn’t want a cat, Rivka Bar-Giora’s tale of a street-cat Clio is a story many parents as well as children will relate to. Father Uri names the invading feline after his childhood pet. Mother Rivka sweeps it out of the kitchen, bedroom, and wherever else it is seen. And neighbors struggle as the food thief ruins their plans. Meanwhile Rivka and Uri’s children are clearly falling in love with their small furry friend.

The tale of Clio is fun. The illustrations are great – full of emotion and character, brightly colored, and pleasingly simple. My only complaint is the sometimes awkward rhythm and rhyme with occasional oddly used words. But it's easily offset by the extra special treat at the end of this book; a link to a wonderful pdf coloring book. Children get the chance to color their own angry Rivkas and hungry cats, with images straight from the book. I would have loved this as a child!

Disclosure: I was given a copy and I offer my honest review.

This is a book kids will enjoy reading over and over again

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2017

This is a fun book by Rivka Bar-Giora, which is written with child friendly poetry, with lively, colorful friendly drawings by Helena Chashka. We come to like this cat, despite all the trouble and messes that it causes and makes. But will the Rivka in the tale, one of the women Clio harasses, like him? (Rivka Bar-Giora uses her name and her husband’s name, Uri, in the story.)
Cio was a street cat who was full of mischief, but Rivka’s husband Uri –
He decides to adopt him
Right then and there,
Despite Rivka his wife
Telling him not to dare.
Nevertheless, Uri does adopt the cat, and Clio makes a mess not only in Rivka’s house, but in many houses in the village.
Children will enjoy this book and will wonder what Clio is doing and how will Rivka react. They will also enjoy the free coloring book with 18 pages to color that comes with the book.

Daughter says its great! She likes the cat and she likes the dad but she doesn't like the mom. She's 5! I say it is a cute short story. It provides nice dialogue.

Needs some work

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2017

(given free for an honest review)
While I appreciate the author's hard work in this rhyming story, I'm afraid that the flow of the words just doesn't work, nor the forcing of the rhyme. I suggest she give it some read-alouds and fix this up, maybe make it a little shorter. I don't get the sense that she knows her target market very well. I believe she has potential, but this isn't ready for publication.
