Larry at Number 10

4.5 "Meowlicious" stars !!

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and illustrator as well as Matador for an ecopy in exchange for my honest review. This book will be released Feb 2021.

The illustrations in this book are so delightful and they garner a full five stars for me. They are adorable, whimsical and hilarious for both adults and children.

This is Larry, the cat that lives with Boris of the UK. Yes that Boris with the crazy Andy Warhol hair.
Larry is wanted by Queen Lizzie to be her mouser but he is devoted to Boris. Larry is also super competitive with other elite cats and is horrified when Boris also gets a puppy who eats sausages.

Oh no Larry won't have that but you have to see what happens !!

The language is full of kitty talk and the little ones will giggle with glee. Suitable for everybody but especially children aged 4 to 6 !!

So sweet, so fun ! Miao Miao Miao !

Larry is known to and loved by many. He is the cat at Downing Street. This title with many cat words (pawtrol, clawful, meowsic and more) is adorable. The illustrations add to the experience of enjoying this title..

Find out what Larry does as he meets his many responsibilities. Watch his reaction when that interloper Dilyn enters the family. See how they work out their relationship.

The story is cute and has a nice message of learning to get along with others. I think that kids will enjoy this one and so will their adults.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title. All opinions are my own.

This is a silly, silly book about the Cat and Dog that are living at number 10, Downling Stree, in London, the house of the Prime Minister, who also makes a brief apperiance.

The story is about how the PM gets a dog, and the cat, Larry, is jealous.

It is cute, and probably kids would like the puns, but I found it kind of boring, and not all that amusing.

Pictures are bright and colorful, however, so kids would probably enjoy that part of it.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

I was thrilled to get the ARC of LARRY AT NUMBER 10 but dismayed when I couldn’t download it due to IOS interface issues. Excerpts online seem adorable and I so want to read what seems like a charming tale of the famous mouser Larry and the Prime Minister’s dog Dilyn at Number 10 Downing Street. 4 stars for the engaging concept and darling cover, minus 1 star for download problems.

Thanks to the author, Troubador Publishing Ltd., and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Larry at Number 10 by Elizabeth C. Radcliffe immediately caught my fancy with its charming cover and witty blurb. Unfortunately, I was unable to download this file, but remain hopeful that Larry will cross my path in the very near future. The young animal lovers in my life will surely fall hard for this 'chief mouser', one half of the real cat and dog duo currently residing at Number 10. Four very promising stars.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Troubador Publishing Ltd. for approving my request for an ARC of this title.

Princess Fuzzypants here: As we all know, we cats rule. Our humans, our homes and everything. We all have impawtant jobs keeping our humans in line but perhaps the kitty with the most crucial job in the UK is Larry, of Number 10 Downing Street. While the Prime Minister is expected to keep the country running smoothly, it is Larry’s job to keep the PM running smoothly. He does not have an easy job.

He has two other kitties on his street who think they are the cat’s whiskers but we all know Larry is unchallenged. That is until a dog is adopted by the Prime Minister. What is worse the dog is adorable and he takes attention off of Larry. Larry is perplexed by his presence until the night when the two of them learn to work together to protect their human. A grateful Nation should high paw them.

The story is charming and the pictures are adorable. Any child or adult will enjoy the adventures of Larry. Five purrs and two paws up.

A funny book for all ages!

As I giggled reading this book, my husband and kids wanted to know what was so funny, so I let them have a look - they thoroughly enjoyed it too. From the hilarious cat puns to the Boris illustrations and the timeless rivalry between cats and dogs there are many great aspects that will appeal to a wide audience.

It is the sort of book that parents will buy for their kids when really it is an excuse because they wanted it themselves!

Thank you Netgalley for the e-arc.

Larry is not happy that a dog has come to live in his home. A wonderful story for children and adults to share.
In exchange for an honest review I received a digital copy. #netgalley #Troubadorpublishing

This is a funny little book, and I'm sure parents will enjoy reading it as much as the kids. I'm not a huge fan of the illustrations; they could have been better.

Oh. My. Gosh.

Larry at Number 10 is an amusing book about a cat named Larry whose boss is Boris Johnson.

For one, the illustration of Boris Johnson is absolutely hideous. Hilariously hideous. Add in amusing cat puns, sassy cat attitude and a great story and you've got one awesome book. I really thought this was amusing and I enjoyed every second of it. I think this is a great comedy book for those seeking some fun and a goofy story about a cat trying to get along with a dog.

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Troubador Publishing for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

"Larry at Number 10,' by E. C. Radcliffe, is the story of Larry, cat-in-charge at Number 10 Downing Street. We follow Larry's exploits as chief mouser among his rivals/contemporaries, such as Gladstone and Palmerstone. Larry is definitely at the top of his game, and rules the Prime Minister's roost. One day, though, there's a new face. Will Larry remain the terror of the mice, or will he be voted out of office?

The story is fun and funny, and the illustrations are very good. Larry's mischievous nature shines through on every page. There is one image of Boris, but that's the only detraction from an otherwise very enjoyable book.

Recommended.

I received an advance copy from NetGalley and Troubador Publishing in exchange for my honest review.

Such a sweet book I love Larry heist very cool cat. The illustrations are really great. I hope Elizabeth C. Radcliffe writes more books about Larry.

Larry at Number 10 was a fun read for me. It follows Larry the cat and his daily life living in London. I am an avid cat-lover and really enjoyed the fantastic kitty word puns like meowsic and pawful. I like the message that the book presents and think that parents reading to their kids can dissect the book and ask kids why they think the author wrote it and what they got from it. I think it is a little slow for younger readers to read by themselves at points but with good narration and a bit of spice from the reader, it can be engaging.

I just reviewed Larry at Number 10 by Elizabeth C Radcliffe. #LarryatNumber10 #NetGalley

My thanks to Troubadour Publishing Matador for a digital review copy via NetGalley of ‘Larry at Number 10’ written by Elizabeth C. Radcliffe and illustrated by Dave Hill in exchange for an honest review.

Larry the Cat is a megastar - cheekily posing daily for the political photographers at Downing Street and amusing his many Twitter followers with his witticisms. I have been a fan for years.

Now Elizabeth C. Radcliffe and Dave Hill have created this delightful picture book for children (and Larry’s fans) in which Larry details his life with his current Boss, including the arrival of Dilyn, the PM’s little dog. Yet Larry leaves no doubt as to who’s really in charge!

This was so sweet, with charming illustrations throughout. Hill’s Boris Johnson had me in tears of laughter.

A purrfect book to either be read aloud to young children or to encourage their own reading.

I absolutely adored this story. I think any child living in the UK would enjoy this and get a chuckle. I don’t think American kids would get the story if they don’t have prior knowledge. I enjoyed it

I'm a fan of Larry and thoroughly enjoyed this story.
It's sweet, full of humor and wonderful illustrations.
If you are a cat lover you will surely enjoyed it.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
