Copycat

Ruth Brown weaves her magic with this Flip-the-Flap book about a family of cats and their long-suffering friend, Bessie the dog. Holly's kittens, Baby and Buddy, have very different personalities. Baby is shy and gentle but Buddy is into everything especially when it comes to copying Bessie. In spite of Holly's watchful eye, he finally goes too far leaving himself even more firmly identifiable as the 'copycat'. Ruth Brown excels at taking a simple yet universal theme and exploring it with sumptuous illustrations that entice the reader on and on until, almost with disappointment, we reach the end. This is a lovely book for sharing and for reading with young children. It's also a marvellous gift for cat lovers of all ages.
