Amanda Craig reviews two cat titles...
Tabby McTat by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler
As always with Donaldson there is a little twist in the tale, told in irrepressible, irresistible rhyming couplets. Scheffler's illustrations are even more colourful and charming than ever before, with the kind of detail and expressiveness that makes them lasting memories of buoyant optimism and joy. Absolutely purr-fect stuff. AMANDA CRAIG
Mrs Cockle's Cat by Philippa Pearce
...few children's books seem to take account of the important role that elderly people can play in the love of reading. This is one of the very best. It has the same old-fashioned, long-lasting magic as Mary Poppins; and it's also absolutely accurate about the real nature of cats. AMANDA CRAIG
