About the book...

It’s Sunday, the day before the school week begins, and Alycat is nervous. She just knows that Monday is going to be the Mondayest Monday ever! On the playground, Alycat realizes she isn’t the only one suffering from the Sunday Scaries. It’s hard to ride a bike. What if Kit falls? The treehouse is so high. Will Spotty make it safely back down? The kittens band together to overcome their fears, but can they turn the Sunday Scaries into a Sunday Funday? The themes of the books in the Alycat Series all reflect a reliance on friendships, imagination, and creativity toward problem-solving.

Fans of Alycat and her friends will enjoy spotting references to the kittens’ daily adventures within these pages. Tips for a successful lemonade stand are included!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alycat and friends are back and they are facing down the Monday Blues, or in this case, the SUNDAY SCARIES! Think about it...Monday gets a bad rep for kicking off the week, but Sunday follows close behind because it means the end of the weekend. It means it's time to worry about everything coming at you in the week...or is it? I mean, you can't enjoy the present, if you're borrowing tomorrow's troubles, right? So, as they say, with a little help from her friends and for her friends, Alycat learns that Sundays need not cause sadness, nor Mondays elicit a groan. There's plenty to enjoy in the here and now PLUS so much to look forward to further along in the week; all it takes is a little confidence. You'll never get to enjoy that special visit, or celebrate that holiday, or enjoy a planned afternoon with friends, if you don't push through the days preceding to get to the reward!

With a friendly cat cast, and colorful images, Alycat reminds readers of all ages of the important things in life...friends, family, and fun! There's something to be learned from all three, and while there's always something in life to worry about, the turning of the calendar page/day shouldn't be one of them. Join this wonderful group of friends, and reshape your view of the day dreaded by many that never really deserved the reputation in the first place.
