(free ebook on Amazon until January 27th; you can also buy a hard copy from Amazon or other booksellers). This book joins other Cougar Cub Tales books as being a cute story for kids that teaches them a lesson at the same time.The Sneezy Wheezy Day follows the cougar cubs as they try to seek a rememdy for brother cub's cold. They do a variety of crazy things suggested by other animals, while the cub keeps feeling worse and worse. All along, the sister accompanies him and supports him in his quest to feel better. It's a touching display of sibling love and companionship.
The author, Sharon Cramer, is a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist and avid competitive equestrian. She is also the author of, soon to be released, Marlo and the Monster, and is working on a new young adult series called The Cerulean Star. She lives in Spokane, Wash. She also illustrates her own books in watercolor, with each picture taking 18-24 hours. You can tell that she puts a lot of effort into the book - I like the illustrations even more than the story, and there's so much detail in them that adults will be captivated by the book as the kids listen to the rhythm of the rhyming story. Cramer chose cougar cubs for her series because she wanted to create characters that spoke strongly of the Pacific Northwest, where she lives.
Disclosure: I received a copy of this book to facilitate this review.
