John Brown, Rose and the Midnight Cat

Jenny Wagner
Illustrated by Ron Brooks
(Puffin)
978-0140503067, RRP £5.99, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
Buy "John Brown, Rose and the Midnight Cat (Picture Puffin)" on Amazon

A most welcome Picture Puffin reproduced, I am happy to say, in a full-size paperback edition; reduction to the more usual, smaller picture paperback size would not have served well this beautiful book. The touching (but unsentimental) story tells of the special relationship between a widow and her sheepdog, which is threatened when Rose sees a cat in the garden one night. Ron Brooks' gorgeous warm illustrations give this book that special quality which draws children of all ages (and adults) to it again and again.
