We love Fassa Tails!

We love Fassa Tails! The story is about an adventurous kitty who runs into challenges and gives us positive ways to overcome them. My kiddos loved the coloring pictures, word search and encouraging messages. This book is a great alternative to screen time. You can read and do all of the activities in various settings. This would be a great gifting option too!

It's worth it! Buy the book(s)!!!!

This book was initially recommended to me. With there being so many children who live life looking into a screen, I thought if I could get one of my loved ones to read, it would be good for them. Wow was I blown away. It has led me to purchase more books including others in the series. These books are unique in that they teach a lesson.. And then, they provide activities to drive them home with adult participation. A book that encourages activities with a family member and removes them from the screen is a win to me. - Do yourself and your little loved one a favor and BUY THESE BOOKS!

Amazing Book & Series

These books are amazing. I love how there is a moral of the story. I think its so unique that the author provided 2 plot twists. So much thought has been put into these books. I love the activities in each book for my children to do

Delightful & Fun!

Fassa Tails is a wonderfully fun and imaginative tale about the sweetest most curious fury friend! My two year old and I read Fassa Tails and do some of the activities together. He learns about language and asking questions through the adventure of Fassa figuring out where he is! The best part? There is room to "grow" with this book. Unlike most books which you read are "one and done," because of the activities in the book, as my little one grows, there is more he can experience with the story. The Fassa Tails present the opportunity for my child to continue to learn as he grows; a truly unique way of presenting a book to a child. We can't wait to order the other books to see what adventures await Fassa.

I can't wait to read them all!

"Direct review from my 9-year-old..."

Fassa woke up covered in snow and tried to find a way out, but sadly when he jumped he was put in a cage. Then he was taken to a unknown room and saw blurs of brown, red ,white and blue. Kids would love this book! Boys and girls would both like it. It's an easy book to read with pictures on almost every page, I also love the activities in the back of the book. I think ages 5-9 would love this book. Thank you for reading!

An Endearing Story for Children and their Parent/Teacher

I purchased this book for my five year old niece for Christmas. I was very pleased when I received it, as it had a quality feel and the illustrations were so cute. Upon reading it, I found the story to be very compelling as it takes you on a journey of the senses and invites the reader to really identify with what the main character is going through. There is a nice variety of activities at the back of the book that are an excellent way for a parent/teacher to share in discussion. I will be getting more of these books for my niece, and I think it will be a joy to explore this series with her! I highly recommend the Fassa Tales!!!

Wholesome and fun!

This series is engaging and catchy, right from the start! The personalities of the characters are fun to read about, and the author is beyond clever in weaving the different personalities together to create stories that are not only cute, but have lasting meaning. They are told in a way that all can understand and relate to. Love, love, love all the activities at the end of each book, and the clear message, each book sends! Well done!

LOVE THESE BOOKS!!!

To say me and my kids love these books is an understatement!!! The way this story not only pulls you in because of the sweet characters and their journey, but it also gives the kids the opportunity to be involved in the journey even more with all the different activities intertwined with the story! This series is such a great way to have parents and kids reading and working together! These books are used at home, on road trips, and taken out to dinner for fun to do. Which I love because my girls aren't glued to a screen to be engaged and entertained! I hope to see many more stories of Fassa!!!

All around a well thought out fun story and the activities are fun and make sense when put in use.

The book is a fun read and additional information to help adults make it meaningful for children. The suggested things to add to the story make it more meaningful for children to put into practice when they have struggles. The activities make it more meaningful for kids and make the message come through clearly. All around a well thought out story and the activities are fun and make sense when put in use.

Principal Mom

As a mom, I really liked reading them to my first grader. She heard them in her class too, but we were able to dive deeper into conversation about the topics at home. I would recommend these books to anyone, but mostly to primary-aged kiddos.

Adventures, values, comprehension questions, educational activities and online fun all in one!

Whether you are a kid who grew up reading choose your own adventure books or not, these are great to dive into with your family or give as gifts! Finding books that helped teach values were also rare. When I was introduced to this collection, I could not have been happier to see an ALL IN ONE book! Adventures, values, comprehension questions, educational activities and online fun! These books can be read solo or as a series. It is the purrrrr-fect combination! -Emmi S

Great SEL series

My students and I loved this series. If you are looking for a series to teach a lesson or for your SEL library, this is a good option. It includes activities, coloring pages, enriching vocabulary. My students loved the characters and the cliffhanger at the end of each book.

Great for Homeschoolers

I loved reading this with my children whom I homeschool. All four of them enjoyed participating, ages 3 to 12 years. I loved the creativity to get kids' minds engaged in the reading, and of course, the kids loved the activities. My 12-year-old son just loves the character's personality. We look forward to reading more Fassa Tails!

Your new reader will love this book!

As a 6-year old, my son was able to follow along with the main character Fassa. I was intrigued by his ability to not only follow along with this character but at the end when I asked questions about the book, my son was able to recount key points from the story showing his ability to reflect and understand what he was reading! It's so hard to get my kids to turn away from their screens. I'm so glad this book gives them a productive reason to do so!

Fassa Tails is fun for kids of all ages!

Fassa Tails is a compilation of 7 books that follow the exciting adventures of a cat named Fassa. As he meets and makes new friends, Fassa is faced with different challenges that he has to overcome. Each book helps teach valuable lessons such as persistence, friendship, and helping others. The fun physical and mental activities at the end of the book help to drive these lessons home. The author has also set up a fun and innovative website that contains even more activities for kids to continue to enjoy. As a Preschool teacher, I love the bright illustrations and action in the stories that will keep children interested and wanting to learn more about this fun-loving cat! – Rena D, Preschool Teacher
