very good chuckle-bringer
Margaret Mahy has written wonderful stories for every period of childhood and young adult life. She wrote for her family, as they grew up, waded through their teens, and married and had their own children. This is one of her funniest most whimsical picture books, with endearingly eccentric characters, including the cat, and his people....I never forgot this little tale, and am so glad to have a copy to share with the current generation of little folk. They too will love it.
