“The art really steals the show, especially the sly-eyed, oversized cat who looms over the pages with razor-sharp claws . . . Simple dialogue and stealthy repetition will boost a budding reader while some of the more sophisticated vocabulary will stretch their skills, and a surprise saviour provides an opportunity for dramatic interpretation during a humorous read aloud.”
