Thank you to BookSirens for providing an ARC.
This book is just the cutest! The illustrations are really cute and full of tiny kittens. This is a cute, short read which would be great for kids or for reading out loud while they can look at the pictures. While the story is sweet and hopeful, it would be best if you discussed the book with them as separation from a parent comes up and that could be scary for small children.
I have always had a soft spot for cats so this was just the perfect dose of cuteness for the day.

Dizzy Lizzie by Kat E Erickson tells the story of an adorable young kitten who is learning how to survive in the world filled with change. When the story opens, Lizzie has trouble finding a spot to drink milk because she has so many brothers and sisters who are able beat her to a spot to eat. She discovers that if she waits until one of the others finishes eating, she will feel full and loved. Later Lizzie and her siblings are discovered by workmen and are rescued from the wild, but are taken away from their mother. This is heartbreaking for all the kittens who cry out for their mama, but they soon discover that they are now with a new person who feeds and cares for them. Later, Lizzie watches as all of her siblings get adopted into families. Lizzie is determined to also get adopted and figures out how her kittenish ways can help her be adopted along with one of her siblings. Lizzie finds herself in a new home and over time realizes that the person who adopted her treats her kindly and she soon thinks of her as mama.
This is a sweet story that children will enjoy reading. The illustrations are beautiful and all cat lovers will love the drawings of the adorable kittens. There are some concepts about change and perseverance that can be discussed while reading the story.

This is such an adorable book for kids!
The art style is cozy and the story would be easy to get through as a bed time story or a story to help your kid read in general.
Also pulls at your heart strings a tiny bit which is perfect for teaching children empathy and kindness towards animals.

To begin, the art for this book is extremely charming. I adore the style.
This is definitely a book I would read to my daughter and keep on the shelf, and maybe gift. The story is just long enough, with such a rhythm that it flows nicely. Kids can understand thr story easily.
I've honestly got nothing bad to say about this book!

I received an advance review copy for free from Booksirens, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Yeasterday, I found on Booksirens this cute little book because of the cover, the cat's illusttrations and the titles, they made me want to read it.
Dizzy Lizzie is a determinate smart little kitten who when she wants something, well she get it either mama's milk or not being separated from her sister. What's not to love about this little book. It hurted my heart when they took her from her mama.
This is a wonderful true story that I'm sure would be enjoyable to read for many cats' lovers like I did.
The illustrations are so beautiful and crazy cute that they made me read it a second time after finishing it just because I enjoyed looking at them.

I quite liked this book, although it was a little sad. While I think that the sentiment is nice enough, it's eye-opening for me, and has me thinking "how often do we *think* we're helping, when we don't need to help?"
Instead of moving the family, and splitting them apart, was there an alternative? Is it necessary to act as if we know best always?
On the other hand, this is a children's story, probably not meant for me to be thinking so much about it, and in the long run the kittens were probably alright and able to live long healthy lives with humans to look after them!

A beautifully illustrated picture book.
A tale of strength and overcoming adversity, no matter your size or place.
Showing young readers the idea of change, coping with change, their emotions and anger.
Some important life lessons behind the cutesy story and images.
Thank you Netgalley for the e-arc.

This is such a lovely book! My son is a cat brother himself so we loved reading this story about the teeny tiny Dizzy Lizzie who does cute things to get the things she wants.
The illustrations are beautiful and so is the kittens' journey.
If you are looking for a pet for your child, read this book to them first.
