Kitty Fantastic in Manroe’s Art Adventure is a 40-page children’s book written by the accomplished and award-winning illustrator Pamela Key. Her intent in writing this book is clear in this passage from the book:

“If a kid does any kind of art at least three hours a day, three days a week, for a year he or she is four times more likely to win an award for writing or be recognized for academic achievement and three times more likely to be elected to class office or win an award for school attendance.”

There is no doubt that this is an excellent book and could easily be one of the best I have seen. The art is amazing - especially the backgrounds, which are full of colorful textures and blends. Another noticeable feature was the bright, almost realistic eyes of Pamela’s characters.

Monroe, a curious little boy filled with questions, has a conversation with his artistically inclined mother about the many various forms of art. Everything from writing, music, pottery and painting are covered in their discussion. A lovable egomaniac cat is Monroe’s best friend and he appears on each scene with cunning comments. Fun activity sheets (four in total) mentally stimulate children and help develop the ability to focus on details.

The way the book is illustrated and written allows for plenty of dialogue between the reader and children. They can seek out images together and discuss what is happening. Also every-other page has a small box with extra historical facts. Such as: science-fiction author Jules Verne writing about air and water travel 100 years before it was possible; and the adventure of Dolly Madison who risked her life to safe important national treasures.

Kitty Fantastic in Manroe’s Art is a fun and stimulating book for learning historical lessons and as an introduction to art - and as such, the book would be ideal for groups of children at schools, libraries and even daycare centers. Children are not the only people that can be enlightened by this book - my husband and myself were both educated about “surrealism” and more. I was also particularly partial to the author making sure it is understood that each person has their own art and express thoughts and emotions through it in their own unique way.

I heartily recommend this book!

Matthew 19: 26 “With God all things are possible.” Mark 9: 23
“All things are possible to him who believes.” In each of these
scriptures, we find the words, “all things are possible.” Things
that are possible to God are made equally possible to the one
who believes. All that is possible to God becomes equally
possible to us by faith. Faith is the key. The Greek stem for
faith is pist. It is used almost 600 times in the New Testament.
Hebrew 11:1 and 2 defines, “Faith.” Two things are written about
faith. First, faith is called substance. In Hebrews 1:3 we read
that Jesus is the exact representation of His Father’s nature or
(substance in the KJV). The Greek word hypostasis (hypo-under
and stasis-stationary or static) means that God is the
underlying reality of which Jesus Christ is the visible
expression. Second, faith is the evidence of things not seen
(Heb. 11:3, II Cor. 5:7). Ps 27:13 According to scriptures, the
thing that keeps us from despair is not what we can see with our
physical vision, but what we can believe with our hearts. In Heb
11:27 we read that in spite of all that Moses endured, he was
able to endure it because he was able to see the unseen. (John
11:39-40. 2 Cor. 4: 17-18). Affliction may serve a useful
purpose for believers. Afflictions form and strengthen our
character. They prepare us for eternal glory that lies ahead of
us. But the word “while” is key. The suffering serves us only
while we keep our eyes on the unseen. If we lose sight of the
unseen realm, get caught up in the world, we can no longer
receive the benefits that afflictions bring. Faith is NOW. Faith
is in the heart. It produces hope in the mind. (I Thess 5:8).
Hope is a confident expectation of good. Optimism. Romans 8: 28
speaks to the reality of faith in the heart, hope in the mind.
Many people who say they believe God will heal them are actually
saying I hope that God will heal me some time in the future.
That is not NOW faith (faith in the present tense always). Hope
is future tense always. The adversary is very successful in
making us believe in hope (something future) when we should be
standing in faith (that which is present tense). We confess,
“We’re okay because one day God will grant our requests.” No, we
believe NOW. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for…”
(Heb 11:1). I am to say this continually, “God has already
provided for my need; therefore, I receive the answer now.” The
manifestation comes when God wants it to come. But, I receive
now and my eyes are on the thing that I’m calling into existence
in Christ Jesus. Let me illustrate with a simple example. The
Bible has recorded the words, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall
not want…” (Psalms 23). Simply stated, the Lord was my
Provider before I was born. When I run short of something I need
in the natural, I call it forth in prayer. I have presently what
God has provided for me since the beginning of time. This is
faith released in the NOW. Until the manifestation comes, I
thank God for it. I presently have it. From the moment I asked,
it became mine. Until I receive in my experience, I keep my eye
on it in the spirit. I thank God for it in advance. I boast that
my God supplies all my needs according to His riches in glory. I
pray this helps you. Pastor T…….Keep the faith. Stay the
course. I believe that Jesus is on His way.
