Miss Petitfour enjoys having adventures that are "just the right size - fitting into a single, magical day." She is an expert at baking and eating fancy iced cakes, and her favorite mode of travel is par avion. On windy days, she takes her sixteen cats out for an airing: Minky, Misty, Taffy, Purrsia, Pirate, Mustard, Moutarde, Hemdela, Earring, Grigorovitch, Clasby, Captain Captain, Captain Catkin, Captain Cothespin, Your Shyness and Sizzles. With the aid of her favorite tea party tablecloth as a makeshift balloon, Miss Petitfour and her charges fly over her village, having many little adventures along the way.
Join Miss Petitfour and her equally eccentric felines on five magical outings -- a search for marmalade, to a spring jumble sale, on a quest for "birthday cheddar", the retrieval of a lost rare stamp and as they compete in the village's annual Festooning Festival. A whimsical, beautifully illustrated collection of tales that celebrates language, storytelling and small pleasures, especially the edible kind!
I received a copy of this book in return for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
My rating: four of five stars
This book was so fun to read. It has several shorter stories, kind of like a chapter book. In each story, Miss Petitfour has an adventure with her cats. She has a bunch of them. And she flies with her tablecloths. It's quite fun to read about their adventures in flying and there are also some pretty adorable pictures that go along with the story. Even though this is a book aimed at younger kids, I found myself being pulled in by the charming Miss Petitfour. This is sure to be a win in any house with cat-loving kids.
Overall, this book gets four paw prints from me.
