Another beautifully illustrated book from Michael Foreman. "Cat In The Manger" is narrated from the point of view of a Cat with an Attitude. I like the way the story happens around him, without him ever realising what is really happening. He is affected in spite of himself, and never kills another mouse.
A sweet Christmas story for kids who already know THE Christmas Story!
And check it out! I have Amazon ads! I am pathetically thrilled about this, because you know how I harp on about books here, and I've always wished I could encourage everyone to buy a book for their kids IMMEDIATELY. And it just got easier. That just fills me with Christmas Joy!
In other, other news: Weather Update is lousy, rain and more rain here on the coast of Jolly England. I hope it keeps snowing in London so that we can make a snowball or two there later on this week.
Happy Solstice Day everyone, hope your Monday is Merry!
This website was invented many years ago, when the author kept coming across interesting things in pockets whilst doing laundry. Like small, terrified reptiles. Blogging about raising children in the rainforest, moving them to the UK and watching them leave home one by one to have their own adventures has gradually been replaced by a return to grownup life for their mother, Nan Sheppard, who is an anthropologist, writer and public international law consultant.
