Foggy's Crown

Meg Rutherford

978-0552526197, RRP £2.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Foggy's Crown" on Amazon

A delicious anti-hero in the shape of a fat, lazy and rather boastful cat finds himself trapped by one of his fabrications into searching for a crown in order to prove he really is a 'royal' cat. It takes a certain degree of maturity to cope with the concept of an anti-hero and, what's more, one who doesn't change his spots even at the end of the story. The book fell rather flat with younger children, but was a great success with top infants.
