What do our readers think of Cat Kid Comic Club - Influencers? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy the funny jokes, lively comics and creative characters, and some feel inspired to make their own stories and drawings. A few children think it is not quite as good as Dog Man or that it could be better, while still finding it enjoyable.

What does the Pageticker team say about Cat Kid Comic Club - Influencers?

An energetic mix of comics, cartoons and visual storytelling, which makes this a lively choice for children who enjoy creating as much as reading. Its themes of self-doubt, kindness, teamwork and finding your creative spark give the humour extra heart, although the busy artwork and many mini-comics may feel a little overwhelming for some children.
