This time the cat is Tabby and her moods and movements are beautifully caught in Nicola Bayley's detailed paintings. Mayne's story of Tabby's adventures saving her patchwork quilt from the rubbish is simply and vividly told. Children who grow familiar with the story will find it good for early reading.
