        Pickles, aka the fire cat, is born homelss and lives in a barrel before being adopted by a nice lady and then eventually joining the fire department and improving himself to become a better cat.

        Here is Pickles being an asshole by chasing a kitten up a tree, because that is something cats do.

        Pickles chasing a kitten up a tree and holding it hostage

        If I remember right Pickles wasn't able to get down either and had to be rescued by the firemen. It leads to his journey to learn how to be nicer to other cats and improve himself.

            Redwall by Brian Jacques. Introduced me to so many things like the fantasy genre, multi-book series, deep worldbuilding, archetypal races and probably way more. The food descriptions also stand out in my memory.

            Haven't gone back to see how it stands up but I highly recommend it for kids whose reading level is improving and want to move up a tier in length/difficulty.

              Idk about "loved," but I'll put "I can fly" since I remember reading it a lot.

              In case others don't know it, it goes a little something like this (each line is a page):

              "I can fly

              Up, up, up

              Down, down, down

              Up, up, up

              Down, down, down

              Up, up, up

              Down, down, down

              I can fly"

                Redwall by Brian Jacques was probably the earliest one I remember loving.

                          I just mean I've seen that one a ton lol

                          A modern one would be nice. If done well, anyway. I feel like it would end up being stretched to a trilogy it doesn't have to be for money, ala Peter Jackson's version of The Hobbit. 😮‍💨

                            Oh sorry. I didn't get that. Well... If there is no demand, no one will make a new one, I am afraid 😓

                                "Nor Crystal Tears": by Alan Dean Foster

                                One of the first novel length books I ever sat down to read when I was young.

                                The first series that I fell in love with was: "The Belgariad" by David Eddings

                                Say what you want about Eddings, the guy was not a nice guy, but "The Belgariad" was a great series and I leaped from it to LOTR.
