This is why everybody wants to be a cat. Anyone who's ever spent time around cats knows how they really do focus on the moment and relax and sleep more than anything. I want to be more in the moment! I also really love the illustrations and the unique way they were made

Awww this was adorable.
I loved the pictures and the story of George and being still in the moment.
We should all take a leaf out of cats books and just be !
I love cats a lot so looked this book.
Cats are just amazing.

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for providing a copy to review.
This is such a warm and cozy book. I could feel the love the author has for her cat, George, in every drawing and text.
Definitely recommend for cat lovers, and anyone looking for a cozy read.

As a counselor, I enjoy how this book very subtly talks about Mindfulness and the importance of staying present with your surroundings. I found it adorable hearing about how George enjoys watching cat tv and giving you love. I wasn't the biggest fan of the art style personally, since it was cute but the art wasn't consistent from page to page. However, the day to day vibes of this book could fit with a reader of any age.

Well this was just fantastic. So cute and I loved the art so much. I’m a cat lover so if I had a child this woulr 100% be going on their bookshelf.

Thank you to NetGalley and Chantilly Cat Press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Very cute book about the love that a cat gives. It gave a sense of calm and the drawings were adorable.

It’s just really a cute quickie read about a kitty named George. I had to read this since cats are cool even though they can scratch your face off👍😅🐱🐈🐈⬛
Thanks Netgalley and publisher!

I love it and feel like this book would be ideal for reading with children (although adults can often learn a lot from these readings too).
As someone who feels like they're wasting time or not making the most of the day if they're not doing anything, this book is ideal. Because sometimes just sitting and watching a butterfly fly by, or feeling the wind, or closing my eyes and existing... is more than enough.
I loved how the book evolved, all the little phrases and thoughtful moments we can draw from it.
Thank you so much, Chantilly Cat Press, for the ARC I read through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a really sweet picture book with a lovely art style. It is very comforting to read, but feels a little disjointed at times.

Thank you NetGalley, publisher and author for giving me an opportunity to review this cute arc! The illustration throughout the book was lovely. As a cat lover it was nice to see anecdotes and cat facts sprinkled throughout the book. It was what I expected. Side note: this book would be great as a colouring book.

This was such a cute read. I can literally relate so many things from it to my cat. They really are such gentle creatures and this book does a great job at showing it. Totally recommending it to everyone I know.

Cute but the writing is a bit awkward in spits which made it not as enjoyable as it could be. The artwork is beautiful though and very calming .

this was so beyond adorable and sweet! the art was stunning and serene. ill definitely be recommending this one to my friends and family who have kids and who are cat lovers!

As a cat lover and mom to two cats, I really want to love this book, but I don't. The illustration is adorable but repetitive at times, so is the writing. It lacks the depth that I hoped to see. Sorry.

This is a gentle and charming read with adorable artwork throughout. While the writing can feel a bit disjointed and repetitive at times, it’s still a sweet story. Don’t expect too much depth, but it makes for a pleasant one-time read.

Being a cat lover and someone who enjoys mellow reading experiences, "What George Thinks When He Sits Still" by Caroline Bell is exactly a book that I enjoy when I need to rest my eyes and my mind and just chill. The art is simple and in soothing colors. George the cat is fluffy and cute. It does get repetitious in both the text and the art and that might be something that others, like my son, who prefers more dynamics in his reading and visuals, would like. But for me, it is fine.
It isn't the most amazing read and it does go a little too long, but overall, it scratches the itch when I want to read something mellow and calming.

I think this is a cute idea and the illustrations are so cute! But I don’t think the poems make a lot of sense. Though let me say this is not my normal type of reading, so take that with a grain of salt. I think my favorite part about this is the illustrations because they are so cute! I love how its words then some pages of just illustrations. I think the font does change halfway through the book, though I am not sure. Overall this is very cute and a good book for children. I just think that the writing is a bit off for me. Thank you for letting me read!

This cat based quick reading book is cute. But with the amount of illustrations I think I would have savored the content more as a page a day calendar. A few pages, I would have liked to hang in my office or on the fridge.

This was incredibly cute and wholesome. The illustrations were so cute, and reading that Caroline Bell has been creating them for 15 years was very impressive - such talent!

I liked reading this mainly because it's about a cute little cat and his owner. However, this short book had quite a few different forms of literature in one book. The first part read somewhat like a story, but then it started to shift into poetry that, while it read very sweet and cozy, didn't make much sense poetically. There were also cat notes in it that looked like little tidbits of information. Since this was a quick read, I didn't mind reading it that much. The art was nice to look at, with some discrepancies, but had a warm and inviting color palette as well.
