First in a Series of Children’s Books Now Available Online

July 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Author, Cristine Caton, along with her cousin and illustrator, Judy Drmacich Ryan, is excited about the release of their first book in a series of Children’s Picture Books titled, "The Adventures of Cefa the Cat".

Book 1, "Cefa Finds a Home", tells the story of a Russian Blue cat named Cefa.  Cefa (SEE-FA) means C for Cat.  Cefa is adopted from the animal shelter by a nice man.  The man, Drugu which means friend in Russian, takes Cefa home.  In the first book Cefa explores his new home.  He is able to go into all the rooms inside his new home and then Drugu takes him outside.  This is Cefa’s first experience outside and he finds himself in a very sticky situation.  Find out what happens to Cefa and who comes to his rescue.

"The Adventures of Cefa the Cat, Cefa Finds a Home" is an easy read for the young elementary student or for the parent who wants a good bedtime story for their little one. The illustrations are animated, cute and very colorful.  Although this book was not design to promote a specific lesson, parents and teachers can draw several messages from it to discuss with the children.

This series is based on the adventures, or misadventures as some will find, of the Caton’s Russian Blue cat.  He was a very active cat with a lot of character.  He would roam around the yard and eventually found himself in various situations.  It was fun to watch as he tried to decide just how he was going to find a way out.  Cristine used these situations as the basis of her stories.

"The Adventures of Cefa the Cat" is an internet collaboration in the true sense of the word.  Pictures were sent via email and put into a graphics program for finishing touches.  After much writing and editing, drawing and redrawing, changing and rearranging the final product was uploaded to the print-on-demand website Create Space and is now available online.

"The Adventures of Cefa the Cat, Cefa Finds a Home" (ISBN # 978 1460906507) is now available online at CreateSpace https://www.createspace.com/3562278
and Amazon http://www.amazon.com
