"Whisker Watchers is a fun, engrossing, spooky, inspiring, adorable, and fascinating read! I absolutely adore the lovely message of this book. It encourages children not to worry about scary monsters because there is someone looking out for them. The Whisker Watchers is a dedicated group of cats who protect children from invisible monsters. These monsters have a huge sweet tooth, but thanks to the cats courageous hunt of the monsters children don't have to worry about their candy being stolen. This book is perfect for any child a little uneasy with all the spooks. I've always scared easy and would have taken great comfort in a book like this as a child. I love paw-some Halloween read!!
The Whisker Watchers are absolutely precious! Plus there are some fun activities in the book. While reading the story, readers are encouraged to count how many Whisker Watchers are secretly protecting treat or treaters from monsters. Finding all these kitties on the page shows how well protected children are and serves as a fun game! "

Sample Excerpt 1:
Whisker Watchers gather, all tails in a row,
A secret society of purr-tectors in the know.
Discussing monsters and spooky frights,
To protect the kids on all hallows night.
Sample Excerpt 2:
Hidden out of site are monsters RED and GREEN.
With eyes so BIG, fierce and keen.
They scheme in shadows, just out of sight.
Invisible to humans, to cause mischief at night.
Sample Excerpt 3:
Shadow monsters, teeth all aglow,
Drooling mouths, a fearsome show.
Teeth gnashing, a monstrous stare,
But the kitties aren’t afraid, not a hair.
