The House Cat
When Hippo call this an 'all ages' picture book, I can see why - anyone reading it will be enriched. The illustrations work on all sorts of levels and break all sorts of conventions with stunning success. The concept of the cat belonging to the house is not new but both the treatment of the personalities of the 'owners' involved and the depiction of the terrors and joys of the journeys make no concessions. Helen Cooper challenges and lifts us to reach out for the truth.
