Heidi and her friend, Adele go on a short trip to Seville and take their cat Vince with them. We are taken around the city and shown the usual tourist sites and do the usual tourist activities. It's a sort of youngsters travel book. Quite a bit of Spanish is spoken when in conversation with the locals, and I was pleased and relieved to see, at the back of the book, a translation of all the phrases.
This is a great book for children learning Spanish at primary or early secondary school level. It's well set out in a situation type story and the illustrations show clearly the types of buildings and street scenes we would see in Seville.

This book was very enjoyable and I learnt a bit of Spanish as well.
I think it is a fabulous idea to use cats to show the title of the book on the front cover. The entire front cover will get the children and pet lovers attention right away. This shows how cats enjoy experimenting and finding out new things each day. They seem to have no fear.
I enjoyed the book. Vince is a very lucky cat. He has Heidi who looks after him and takes him everywhere with her, including on holiday, abroad. In this book, they go to Seville in Spain (Andalusia). Heidi starts practising her Spanish with the locals. Adele explains what Heidi is saying, as she asks where their hotel is. Once settled, Vince looks out the window and sees a little kitten on top of an awning, peering over the edge.... Read Full Review

An informative and delightful read.
The Adventures of Vince the Cat Vince Discovers the Wonder of Seville is the third book in Heidi Bryant's Catnap Stories series, the first two being set in Paris and India respectively. They are books to inspire children to explore the idea of new places, cultures and languages and dedicated to Vince and the author's other cats, who appear in the stories.
Following Heidi, her friend Adele and, of course, Vince the cat on a short break in the historic city of Seville, we are treated to a visual feast of the best tourist sites the place has to offer through charmingly simple and colourful illustrations. The equally simple text is beautifully woven between the pictures.... Read Full Review
