Review

This is a delightful sequel to Edward Lear's classic poem "The owl and the pussy-cat" by Julia Donaldson and beautifully illustrated by Charlotte Voake. Newlywed Owl and Pussy-cat go to sleep by the light of the moon and awaken to find Pussy-cat's golden ring stolen by Crow. Off they set on their sorrowful journey in search of the ring, making new friends and solving problems along the way. After retrieving the ring from the Pobble with no toes they sail back home and dance a jig with the turkey and pig. How delightfully happy they are. A magical adventure to be shared again and again. The perfect companion to the reprinted classic. You will want both for your collection.

Overall Book Score: very good
