Love this story!

Bought this to give to a daughter of a friend in Costa Rica. She loved the story. Wanted me to reread it over and over. She named her newest stuffed animal Powell!

A cat-egorically fun book for kids and cat lovers!

A well written and well illustrated book about an Oregon cat who hosts an exchange cat from Norway. Kids will love the storyline and parents will love the great lessons about the importance of new friendships, travel and exploration. I wonder what is next on Powell the cats agenda?

Such a thoughtful and cute read!

My boys love the adventures of Powell - what a creative author with exceptional writing. A sure win for your family!

About the Book

Powell, a Maine Coon cat from Oregon, hosts Bjorn, a foreign exchange cat from Norway. Transitioning from an indoor kitty to an outdoor Oregon explorer, Powell takes the reader through the journey of a lifetime.

The two kitties teach each other their customs while becoming fast friends. In the evenings, Powell and Bjorn visit some of the beautiful forests in Oregon and make new friends along the way.

Not only will your children love hearing about the kitties' adventures, they will also learn some fun facts about cats and forests.
