Gus Makes A Fuss is a fantastic book for confident young readers. My daughter (9yrs) loved the descriptions of the characters and their clothing and personalities. Gus is a great cat with lots to teach the girls as they care for him and learn how to be responsible! The concept of “pet sitting” really appeals to the younger reader as it's more realistic for them to imagine themselves doing this important job! We also love love love the pictures!!

Usually, children's books are only entertaining for the children and not so entertaining for the older person reading them, but this book is the complete opposite. I found myself laughing at the grumpy (and honestly quite relatable) stuff Gus says multiple times! This book is a super easy and fun read. The illustrations really make the story come to life. I would definitely recommend!

What an adorable book! I know my grandchildren would love this. Gus is so misunderstood, like so many children are (wink). With a bit of consideration and a lot of patience, most days can have a happily ever after.

My just-turned-4 year old granddaughter listened to the whole story in one sitting. She was keen to see the illustrations, but concentrated well throughout. When her dad asked her about it 3 hours later she said, “ It was fun!”. Her description of the story focused on pet sitting, Gus' escape and the chaos he caused. She has been read many books a day since tiny and loves them, and has advanced language skills, so has already listened to other 'chapter books'. I imagine some active 4-year-olds wouldn't yet be ready for this book.

My favourite bit was when Gus jumped out the window and when the chocolate cake go on dad's head. It was super super super super super super super super super super super good - and that is an understatement. It was awesome.

I want to get the REAL book not just online. I liked that they actually got to have a pet. I liked listening to it.

I loved the book. I loved the descriptive language. I loved the talking cat. I think it would really appeal to children. It's fun to read so adults should enjoy reading it to children. The illustrations are cute.

I like this book because it has twists, excitement, and it is very magical. My favourite part is probably when Gus starts to talk. It's also very funny. I would give this book 4 1/2 stars.
