Synopsis

Caramelo o Gato Viajante (Toffee the Traveling Cat) series is a fun and educative collection of children’s books that follows the adventures of a charming and curious traveling cat named Toffee.

From the enchanting streets of Paris to the vibrant neighborhoods of Lisbon and the historic landmarks of Athens (more cities in the making), Toffee explores different cities across the globe, bringing cultural diversity and delightful experiences to young readers in the form of a semi-travel guide.

Book 1: Toffee in Athens

Toffee in Athens is the first book of the series, following the extraordinary journey of two feline friends, Toffee and Moustáki, as they explore the ancient city of Athens, Greece.

Toffee, a curious and adventurous cat from here and there, arrives in Athens as a foreign visitor. He is greeted by Moustáki, a friendly local cat who is eager to show him the wonders of his city. Together, they embark on an adventure, immersing themselves in the vibrant culture and rich history of Athens.

As Toffee and Moustáki roam the sun-kissed streets, they encounter iconic landmarks such as the Acropolis and the bustling Monastiraki Square. They explore the modern side of Athens, venturing into charming neighborhoods like Plaka, and indulging in local delicacies, such as savory souvlaki and sweet loukoumades.

Toffee in Athens celebrates the beauty of culture, the spirit of adventure, and the power of learning in a quasi-travel-guide-like format. It introduces young readers to the captivating history and vibrant culture of Athens with easy-to-follow trivia about specific locations in an adventure story format. The book encourages children to embrace new experiences and different cultures and entices them to discover more about the locations in the book.

Book 2: Toffee in Lisbon

In the second book, Toffee sets off on a journey to the colorful and hilly city of Lisbon. Exploring the narrow streets, riding the historic tramcars, and tasting traditional Portuguese cuisine, Toffee immerses himself in Lisbon’s rich history and vibrant culture.

Book 3: Toffee in Paris

Toffee embarks on his first adventure in the City of Lights. From the iconic Eiffel Tower to the charming streets of Montmartre, Toffee encounters friendly locals, samples delicious pastries, and discovers the artistic wonders that make Paris so magical.
