A word about Camel and Snatch Cat and this story . . .

My husband, Oliver, and I love telling our young granddaughters imaginary stories. Mine are about a character named Camel and his antics in the meadow and forest. Oliver’s stories are about Snatch Cat, a clever feline, who is usually caught up in one exciting adventure or another!

Since we’re not often around our granddaughters now because of the pandemic, I decided to write them this story about their two favorite characters, Camel and Snatch Cat, and the virus going around. And even though the characters are imaginary, the story includes many facts young children, and all of us, are learning and living with on a daily basis. Highlights include how the virus spreads, what it means to practice social distancing, the importance of wearing a mask, and getting the vaccine that will help get this pandemic under control.

Our granddaughters have enjoyed this latest venture of Camel, Snatch Cat and their friends, and having it read to them! Hopefully, your young children delight in meeting these characters and finding out all that takes place in What’s Going On Out There? As you go through the story together, you’ll discover that each chapter includes something fun and interactive for the children to do. So enjoy the journey ahead: reading, discussing, learning and doing!

What People Are Saying About This Book:

I liked the Camel and Snatch Cat book because the animals dance. Thank you!

~ Olivia, 6 years old

I liked the part where they explained how to be safe with the coronavirus going on. And what surprised me was that Snake was mean to Snatch Cat and that Snatch Cat forgave him.

~ Jamison, 7 years old

COVID-19 has presented many challenges for everyone, especially children, who may have lots of questions and confusion about what is going on and why their lives have changed so significantly. Young children will enjoy the adventures of Snatch Cat, Camel, and their friends, as they learn more about the virus and how to protect themselves and others while still living life to the fullest.
