My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is such a good little book. Anyone could read it, from 5-95. ‘Greatness is Contagious’
This story follows a cat named Priscida and trying to find out how to be great!
What does it take to be great? Is it what you do? Is it who who are around? Is it both of those things and a little bit of love?
This story was well thought out and has great meaning in todays world. The artwork is very cute as well. Being a small artist myself, I love seeing other artists at work.

This book carries a great message for all of us, great acts are made of small deeds. I read this to my 6-year-old and she found humor out of the things the cat was able to do, such as read and ride a bike. After we finished the story, we talked about some small acts that we have done, or we could do in the future to be great. The lesson you take away from this story is one that will go far. A great story for all kids to listen to or read on their own. I would have enjoyed more illustrations, especially for the younger kids to reflect on but overall, great story.

Based on the Lao Tzu saying, “Great acts are made up of small deeds”, Priscida Finds Greatness is a great young children’s book that teaches about finding greatness in yourself and in others. Priscida is a smart ally cat that goes through some rough stuff in her life. She is an ally cat, caught and taken to a shelter, then recused, only to be lost, but then found again. She learns through perseverance, greatness is contagious. Small acts of love and kindness lead to great things. I LOVED the illustrations and I believe that this is wonderful book for younger kids. Explaining kindness and how small acts of love can change the world in big ways is very important to me and this book does just that! I can’t wait to read this one with my girls and talk about it afterwards.

I really enjoyed this book and will definitely have to read it to my nieces. It is a very simplistic book that gets the point across. You can come from nothing but with hard work, perseverance and heart you can do anything you want. Don’t forget where you came from but also learn from it and be and do better. Find the best in people and help them to achieve greatness as you will also feel satisfied. Everyone can benefit from reading this even though the age range is 9-12 years old. Everyone can take something away from it.

What a great story! My 8 year old was the most captivated by this. And she says all the time, “I might be having a bad day but doesnt mean I have to make others have one too”. She always tries to find the better part of a problem than dwell on the bad parts. And that struck a chord with her in this book. Great story and loved the pictures and would have loved more!

This was a really sweet and cute read! Being as this is a children’s book it’s also a very quick read. I think this book can teach younger children a lot of good lessons especially about being great. There’s a lot of knowledge written throughout these pages. I really enjoyed reading this one! I can’t wait to read this book to my daughter when she gets older, so she can see how to be great too, just like Priscida!

This book is a great children’s story with great lessons to learn. It is a cute way to teach children perspective and how they can find greatness in their own lives.

After I read through it, I read it with my 8 year old who was willing to give it a chance. Coming from the kid that really doesn’t enjoy reading, that is quite the compliment!

If this wasn’t the cutest little bedtime story for my 8-year-old daughter, I don’t know what is. We certainly enjoyed giving ourselves a little pat on our back. A cute, little fluffy story for our littles to enjoy, and have a nice little lesson in there as well. There were certainly parts where I found that there was a lot of the same words used, but for a children’s book, it fit perfectly. We both loved the part where Priscida is telling us about her adventure with a bike, and my daughter laughed so hard she had to sit up to catch her breath. The pictures were also very adorable and enjoyable to look at. The one with the conductor was a fan favorite! Would read this again to my daycare kids, and any other children’s stories that this author releases. Well done!

This book was absolutely adorable! Priscida was a smart kitty with great insight and big ideas. From an alley cat who taught herself to read to being adopted by a loving family. She teaches the importance of values, family, and never giving up. She talks about everything she does with her family to what she herself would like to do one day to be her best self. This is a great moral story for children, and its also a fun read.

What a delightful story for kids. I have to say I wish my children were younger and I could share this with them. I really like how the author has used the character to teach children a wonderful lesson. The way the book is written in first person also adds to it. The author spins a great story and kids would just really love the character and her tale. I highly recommend this story for those with young children.

Priscida Finds Greatness by Constance Mays. This is a great kids book that I enjoyed with my nephew but I even enjoyed it. Its the story of Priscida who is an alley cat but he realizes that he’s so much more than that. The main concept of the story is to teach kids to find the good in all things. Priscida is an alley cat who goes on many adventures and my nephew giggled and laughed all thru it. He’s only 3 but he really enjoyed it and understood it. Priscida teaches us that we are all made up of good things and we can all do good things! I think kids and adults alike could learn from this book. Awesome kids book.

This is one of the best children’s books that I’ve read. The artwork is awesome. The story is one that every child (and adult) can relate to. It teaches that it’s the little things that matter the most. It also helps teach self-worth, and that everyone is special. I recommend this book to absolutely everyone for a fun, heartwarming read.

I thought this was a really cute book. I read it to my 6-year-old. Having had remote learning last year, one of the lessons the teachers taught a lot was about trying and trying again. I felt this went along with that lesson very well. It also opened up a great discussion about what she is great at, her teachers have told her how kind she is and what a big heart she has. Great book to read and open discussion with your kids.

“Great acts are made up of small deeds”

I love this saying!

If I had read this by myself and reviewed it I would have given it 4 stars, because I wouldn’t have thought the kids would have really gotten this or would stay interested. I was completely wrong. I picked this up because I had 3 of my grands with me for a few days the week of Thanksgiving. They are ages 10 and 11. We read this together taking turns and they completely got it, and enjoyed it. It broke off into conversations and questions and how to apply this book in their own lives. I was blown away and completely impressed with how this book touched them.

This was a great book for teaching children the meaning of finding good in all things, especially themselves.

I loved the time with the kids reading this, and would recommend it highly!

I thought this book was a sweet, touching story that really will help children, and adults, to think about greatness and how to find it. It was an easy book to read but also quite thought provoking – a great way to get children thinking in more detail about the little things in life.
This wouldn’t be my usually type of read but I definitely enjoyed it. And although my kids are both too young for it I will definitely be keeping it in mind for when they are older. This is a lovely and well written story.

This was a truly great children’s book with a heartwarming story filled with some great lessons. I highly recommend that all school children read this book. I am a crazy cat lady so the fact that this story was about a cat really tugged at my heart strings. I love that it teaches children to find greatness not only in themselves but in everyone. I also loved the important meaning that we all belong that was taught in this story. I loved the illustrations that were included but thought that they could have been more detailed especially for younger readers to understand the story. They just felt too generic in my opinion. Overall, I loved this story and the meaning behind it. It would be nice to have this book read in all head start or primary aged classrooms.

What a fabulous children’s story with a wonderful message. Priscida is such a relatable character that kids (and adults) will easily fall in love with. The writing is easy to follow and the messages of believing in yourself and your greatness are so well delivered. With great illustrations this is a book worthy for a classroom or home library.

This short children’s book is wonderful. I would say that it is a book for all ages, and it has a profound message. The illustrations are lovely. Everyone should strive to find greatness in not only the world around them, but mostly within themselves. I look forward to reading this book to my nieces and nephew.

Priscida Finds Greatness by Constance Mays

“Greatness is Contagious.” My three and a half year old son and I have read this book several times . We both loved it a lot and the message it teaches is even better. My son said Priscida is the ruler of the kingdom because he/she does great things. This is a cute children’s book I think any age could enjoy, I know we sure did. Follow along as Priscida becomes more than a alley cat. I felt like this author wrote from their heart and it showed . This was short read that’s easy to follow and it may be short but the message is louder than words. Thank you for this fun story with a bigger meaning. Greatness is Contagious! I’ve found myself repeating this a lot here lately. I highly recommend reading this cute children’s book. I foresee it being read several times. I look forward to reading more from this Author

So, I didn’t read this to any kids, the ones I babysit are out of town for the holidays. But I myself actually really enjoyed this and I know they will too when they get home!

I’m not to old to admit sometimes, a sweet short story is just what you need before a long day of work. After getting this, I actually have read it to myself 3 times before a long day at work!

Priscida Finds Greatness: In Herself and In Others is a lovely children’s story by Constance Mays. This is a such a charming story with wonderful messages about finding greatness not only in others, but most importantly, in yourself. I feel it encourages self-esteem and encourages the reader to find ‘greatness’ in small things. Greatness comes in many forms. Everyone is special in their own way.
By following Priscida, the alley cat on her adventures- we are shown how to look at life with a better understanding. I liked Priscida and thought she was a great character- she got her message across wonderfully well.
A lovely story with a wonderful reminder/lesson.

Thank you, Constance Mays!

This is a children’s story that I enjoyed. It is about Priscida an alley cat who learns and teaches us about ourselves and what we can find within ourselves. It is an inspiring story that has graphics that bring the story to life. The characters are fun, creative and unique and I really liked them. A great interactive story that would be great for any child. I highly recommend this book.

This is a beautifully written children’s story all about a cat named Priscida. It’s her story about going from being a stray to finding a family that loves herself allows her to be herself and find her greatness.
This is a lovely story and teaches children that they can be great just by loving and by being loved by the people around them. That greatness isn’t about money or possessions but about the love that we share and it’s something we can share with everyone.

This was such a well put together children’s book. I loved how it really showed that everyone can have struggles no matter how hard they try, but you should not put yourself down over it! It was up lifting and sweet all at the same time. For children that feel they are not meeting the criteria that sometimes the world puts on them, it can make them feel rather down. This story was a great reminder about how we are all special in our own unique way! Also it was great story about self love, which was very admirable!

Sweet and very touching story. I think any child, no matter what they may face, this is something they need to read and get that life lesson from! It was a very motivational and powerful book, a must read!

This book is sweet, the story is a great lesson and the art is super cute. I really liked all the puns and this one line stuck out to me the most, “Priscida, you are great. Go be great today” I feel that is a very nice thing for anyone to say to themselves before starting their day. It is nice to get that extra motivation even if it comes from yourself. The lesson here is be great, love more and persevere. Great read for parents and children.

Priscida is a pretty cool cat. She is found by a family and somehow learns the way to greatness. This is a really unique story that is told in such a way that it will grab the kids attention. They don’t even find out until the end the surprise. I loved the book and will be getting a copy for each of my grandchildren. The message it teaches is one that everyone needs to know and remember. Great book that I highly recommend everyone read.

Priscida is an alley cat and finds herself her forever home. She reminds me of one of my cats. I read this story to my grandbabies and whilst they did not understand the message being two and four they did like to hear about Priscida and looking at the drawings. If only our lives were as simple as a cats. The story is fun with great illustrations and a wonderful message. Priscida finds a home, love and great people who simply care.

This was a great little children’s book, one that teaches great values and morals through the many different situations in Priscida’s life. It’s told in a clear way that children will be able to understand and ultimately enjoy as she takes us through her one-of-a-kind journey.

I got this book to read to my five-year-old and was not disappointed. I would have preferred more pictures as he is more drawn to the colorful artwork in children’s books, but the overall storyline was great for a child his age. It centers around finding what truly makes someone great, relying on love, and learning about belonging. These are all important things for growing children to hear about and learn about regularly. We had to read through twice today because he was so excited about a new book. Perfect for a teacher, a parent, or a child who is learning to read independently. This was the first book I downloaded on kindle to read to my child, and I think I will be doing it more in the future.
