4/5 Stars!
Josephine has a secret she wishes the rude, selfish children next door knew.
The big, fluffy, white dog nicknamed Jo is wise beyond her years.
Vinnie, the kitten who also shares her home, is all ears when Jo finally shares her secret—the secret of liswat.
As Jo explains liswat, Vinnie wonders and worries if the children next door will ever learn the secret and its virtues. He also looks forward to applying liswat to his own life as he grows into a big, happy, clever cat.
The Ginormous Series delivers another timely life lesson in simple, easy words wrapped in a cozy, but informative conversation between family pets.
Children of all ages will understand the benefits of liswat and enjoy the beautiful hand-drawn images of Jo and Vinnie.

Ginormous Jo’s Secret
Illustrated by S C Cunningham
In “Ginormous Jo’s Secret,” S C Cunningham explains the very link between listening and learning. Though the huge, white, huggable dog called Jo wasn’t sure at first when her mum brought home a cuddly little kitten called Vinnie, she grew to love him with time. Vinnie was loving, playful and made her laugh a lot. Because Jo didn’t want Vinnie behaving like their noisy, shouty, and greedy neighbours, she introduces him to “Liswat,” telling him the great importance of listening and learning from others and the very secret behind her being a clever dog. Does Vinnie now know the meaning of “Liswat?”
