REVIEWS FOR BOOKS BY, MARTHA RAMIREZ
“Gonzo the curious cat is a wonderful telling of a mischievous cat named Gonzo and his barnyard friends.
Through many misadventures, Gonzo learns that safety should always come first.
Very poignant, a great read!”
-Children’s Literary Reviews
“Gonzo the Curious Cat is a charming story for children of all ages. This story is informative and it teaches children about safety in a fun and frolicking tale. Gonzo gets himself into some pretty tricky predicaments and pays the price because he wasn’t practicing “safety first.” I enjoyed the author’s choice in character names and I think that children will be able to not only enjoy Gonzo the Curious Cat but will also be able to learn from this story as well.
Well done! 5

"A cute children’s story, Gonzo “The Curious Cat,” by Martha Ramirez, gives young readers an opportunity to follow Gonzo through many experiences
bringing valuable lessons. In Gonzo “The Curious Cat,” Farmer Louie’s reminder of safety first is delivered as everyone on the farm finds themselves in compromised positions. Parents will be delighted to read with their children and know they are sharing messages that will help keep their children safe. However, some of the vocabulary used may be difficult for the young readers to understand without assistance. The lessons are some of the most critical to the safety of children from cars,strangers, fires, and much more. Together parents and children can use this book to develop a line of communication to address these issues."

However, danger lurks in their inexperience--like the time my kitten leaped off the top of the china cabinet and broke her knee. Not fun! She had to stay in a cage for six weeks with a bright pink wrap around the knee. Being a kitten, she had to play; so she did cart wheels around the cage and broke the other knee!
Now that she is older, she still leaps off the china cabinet, but she has the adult skills to avoid sports injuries.
Like my adventurous cat Callie, Gonzo the Cat is a good little cat who learns from his mistakes. And he listens to adults who give him tips to keep him safe, so that he can avoid some nasty adventures, such as pulling hot chocolate down on himself from the stove. Experience forges common sense, but many experiences are best learned vicariously!
I loved Martha's delightful book, with its charming characters and colorful artwork laced with humor.

What a CAT!!
"Run and play with Fred the Frog and all his outdoor friends! Share adventures on lily pads and singing his favorite songs. Spend the day with Fred doing all the fun things frogs do.
With its fun tone and great detail, this book would be great for kids who love pictures. It has all the qualities that could even make it a fun cable kid’s show, like The Wonder Pets or The Backyardigan’s. It’s cute and adventurous and I’d read it to my nieces and nephews."

"I just adored the little rhyme time story!!!!!
I liked the rhyming words. A cute story. I like how it had describing words and verbs."

"I have read this book in its entirety, and it was a delightful read. Martha Ramirez used a rhyming in sequence through out the entire manuscript, this is an incredible feat to accomplish, the author has indeed accomplished this, and proved very well. She has created characters beyond our imaginations, and has described the characters in depth and their environment.
Many different characters are used in this book, each character was given a unique name and details upon their characteristics. The Author gave a hint of their personality and in doing so kept the reader quite interested through out.
This book will enable children and young readers to identify different types of animals and improve their vocabulary, and perhaps teach them the concept of rhyming. This book will fit quite nicely into the children's literature genre.
Overall: Authors work speaks for itself, book was created on pure talent."

"The Fabulous Adventures of Fred the Frog stimulate the imagination of all who read it. As you get to know Fred, you begin to imagine what his environment looks and sounds like and what his friends are like too. Although this book is written for young children, it will also capture those young at heart. Allow your mind to be free as you rhyme your way through the life of a frog named Fred and his adventures in the wonderful world he lives in."
