The Cat with Two Tales
Illustrated by Sarah Hedley
(Macdonald)
978-0356167602, RRP £3.50, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
We enjoyed this book very much. It tells of a delightfully smug and opportunist cat who has a very comfortable home with Albert at night and who is adopted as a pet by the children at the school in the day. She is Tiger at school and Lily to Albert, and is fed and petted in both homes. When she is lost, the truth is revealed and a true British compromise reached. Clear, interesting illustrations, a clever and realistic plot and an understanding of cat nature make this a real find. I haven't met this author and artist before but will look out for them again.
