Precious Potter

Rose Impey
Illustrated by Shoo Rayner
(Orchard)
56pp, 978-1841212364, RRP £3.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Precious Potter: The Heaviest Cat in the World! (Colour Crackers)" on Amazon

Precious Potter is the runt of the litter, and the other kittens couldn't care less about him. But his mother takes special care of him, and soon he grows, and grows, and grows. Suddenly he is taken notice of, but what will happen when he wants to get a job? He is, after all, the heaviest cat in the world. Any book by Impey has me sitting up and taking notice, and coupled with Rayner's illustrations I was certainly not disappointed. Children will enjoy the humour in this tale, and there is enough detail in it for an adult reading the story aloud to be amused as well.
