Review Quotes: ★ "Rich vocabulary and a hilarious water-hating cat make this a stellar choice for all collections. Highly recommended and highly enjoyable." --School Library Journal, starred review
"Give this to the little one who is reluctant to try something new with the assurance that they don't have to change their personality to take a chance." --BCCB "Cats and water may not usually mix, but this pleasing combination yields a fur-tunate lesson." --Kirkus "A buoyant initial outing. Alongside sweetly goofy characters engaging in sly anthropomorphic comedy, readers should be eager to take the next plunge." --Publishers Weekly "A clever, read-aloud-ready text...A buoyant conclusion leave young readers feeling purr-fectly refreshed. Dive in!" --The Horn Book "The text and illustrations both highlight Serafina's big personality. Her expressions are strong and her costumes amusingly over-the-top, and the cheerful beachy palette creates a comical juxtaposition to Serafina's initial moodiness." --Booklist
