Book Review: The Panda, the Cat and the Dreadful Teddy by Paul Magrs



The surely soon-to-be million-copy bestselling sort-of inspirational parody...


Enter the world of me, Panda, plus my sometime-friends Cat and Teddy. You will find us living our best lives, trying (and occasionally succeeding) to be kind to each other. The cat is quite nice but can be a little bit selfish. Teddy can come across as very nice, with his squeaky voice and looking so tiny and helpless. But I must warn you, Teddy can be a vicious little backstabber, actually.


This is a book of nice illustrations and some words from which you will likely gain some sort of inspiration.


My Review:


Rating: 4/5 stars


Thank you to @tandemcollectiveuk @harpercollinsuk and @pmagrs for the gifted copy of 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑫𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝑻𝒆𝒅𝒅𝒚 🐼🧸😻 I absolutely loved it!


It's basically a parody of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse (which I also loved). Whereas that was full of inspiring and thought provoking writing, this book explores our reality. We can't be perfect all the time and sometimes we are like Panda and just don't give a shit.


I really enjoyed watching the live with Paul Magrs (on Instagram) because we got to see where the inspiration came from, what he wants readers to get from the book and even draw the characters live.


And today is release day! I'd definitely recommend grabbing yourself a copy! It will definitely make you laugh and leave a smile on your face and isn't that what we all need.
