The Bureaucats

Richard Adams
Illustrated by Robin Jacques
(Puffin Books)
978-0140317596, RRP £1.50, Paperback
8-10 Junior/Middle
Buy "The Bureaucats (Young Puffin Books)" on Amazon

A selection of stories based around two mischievous cats and a bureaucratic master may not sound appealing, but here is a good story line. A book for young readers who have got started and are now developing at their own pace. Some challenging vocabulary but, on the whole, the stories' style carries the reader along with it. The book could be used as class reader for lower Juniors. The illustrations are black and white, except for the cover, and help to establish the period flavour. Altogether a witty and amusing read.
