Eleven year old Max is well known for being a Funny Kid. But now he has a different persona in mind. First Kid. Like the First Lady inFunny Kid (11) Catastrophe Book Review Cover America, Max believes that when his mum becomes the mayor of their town, he will be swept up in the fame too.

Many hours are spent on what he thinks is coming for him – a new security detail, a fashion advisor and the clothes with it, free entry into his favourite places, and never having to queue for anything ever again. The thing is, Mum isn’t Mayor yet, and with his parents super busy with the election campaign they think Max might be a little lonely.

Many people love cats. Max is not one of them. When given a cat from the local animal shelter, he thinks his parents have gone mad. This thing is annoying, tries to trip him up constantly, licks him and sticks its bum in his face! Enough is enough. This thing he calls Catastrophe has to go!

While his parents work on the election plans, Max is working on How-to-get-rid-of-an-unwanted-cat plan. His pet duck is happy with this decision while he sulks in the toilet bowl. The results of Max’s plans come back to surprise him!

 

Another in this funny series, this episode includes a cat, a mayoral campaign and an avid non-cat lover. Other characters keen to make funny cat videos to make them famous is perfectly on point and brings hilarious results.

Main character Max already has a pet, who is jealous of the new member of the household, just as in real life when a puppy or kitten is introduced to a household.

As always, there are things to be learned by Max including the powers of persuasion and some cool things about cats.
