Sorry, I’m on the wrong side of Christmas with this review. Ever noticed how once a child gets a taste for Christmas they don’t really care if it’s January – they’ll still pull a Christmas book off the bookshelf?
This book will appeal to anyone who:
a) loves the Hairy Maclary series;
b) loves cats;
c) loves Christmas.
The story could also be a useful tool for teaching children not to pull all the decorations off the Christmas tree. Probably more useful to read it to the small fries around November/December, though, if that’s your purpose!
The book is a pleasant, rhyming story of a mischievous cat at Christmas and has a great selection of non-swearing dialogue to adopt when you’re having one of those pull-your-hair-out moments. Repeat after me: “Oh FOOZLE!”
My rating: 3.5 out of 5
