Customer Reviews

Pure delight for all cat-lovers!
This book is an absolute winner with my almost 3-year old daughter. Yes, the stories are simple, the illustrations are dated but children love this book! Children are not as sophisticated as adults and easily understand and greatly appreciate simplicity of things. It's easy for modern parents to clutter our kids' environment with objects that are too complex even for our own miserable selves, however, the fact is that kids don't need that much complication at this tender age. It will come naturally, unfortunately...
Therefore, I'm all for the silly Mog whom my daughter would love to have for a pet, with her uncomplicated and fun adventures.
This book teaches young children a lot of fundamental lessons which in simple words can be summarised to this: it's nice to have someone/something to care about and twice as nice if they care about you (even if it's an old smelly stuffed bunny that Mog likes to play with; it's good to be compasionate and forgiving (even if your pet cat wets your favourite chair :) ; humour is a great aid in dealing with difficult situations; even little creatures are capable of great things - so never underestimate someone's abilities, etc.

Great value for Mog fans
This beautiful hardcover edition containing 6 of the most popular Mog stories is great value for money. My 2-year old loves Mog, especially at bedtime, and is captivated by Judith Kerr's illustrations. Mog is definitely a cat with her own mind who gets in all kind of scrapes. The fact that part of the stories are presented from Mog's point of view adds a lot of humour. The simplicity of the language means that these will be great stories for older children who are just learning to read too.

Mog wins yet again
This selection of 6 mog stories ( Mog the Forgetful Cat; Mog & bunny; Mog's bad Thing; Mog & the baby; Mog on Fox Night; Mog's Christmas) has entranced our 2.75 year old. Simple stories with recognisably real cat behaviour and good pictures that enable your toddler to understand what is going on and 'read' ahead make it a delight. This is a hard back, large (A4) book that is well suited to the bed time story book shelf.
