📖PLOT SUMMARY FROM GOODREADS📖
Share in fifty years of a really remarkable cat… A special birthday story to celebrate fifty years of MOG, everyone’s favourite family cat! It’s Mog’s Birthday and everyone is excited to celebrate! Everyone except Mog. Mog doesn’t like birthdays or parties, and she especially doesn’t like them both together. But will she change her mind when it’s her own special day? HarperCollins created this special birthday story in collaboration with Judith Kerr, using a selection of pictures from across fifty years of illustrating Mog to bring this delightful story to life. Join us and celebrate fifty years of a really remarkable cat! The classic picture book story, Mog the Forgetful Cat , has never been out of print since it was first published fifty years ago, and Mog has been delighting children all over the world ever since with her funny and warm-hearted escapades. Her stories are the perfect gifts for boys, girls and families everywhere. ‘Since her debut in 1970, Mog has become… a national hero.’ Junior Magazine ‘A firm favourite on children’s bookshelves’ The Telegraph ‘Mog is a star, she really is. I can’t recommend her highly enough. Someone should give that cat a medal, or an egg for breakfast.’ The Bookbag.
💭THOUGHTS💭
I wanted to read a children’s book in honour of Children’s Book Week, plus one that was birthday related (due to it being my birthday today!) and this fitted the bill. I have only read a couple of Mog books in my time, but I do enjoy them so will ensure that my son’s get the pleasure of reading them!
The writing had a range of words so could cater for a wide age range and reading ability. There were only a few sentences on each page so the reader didn’t get bogged down and could easily read through the book.
The text was a clear, simple font and black on a white background. To add interest the sentences were in different places on each page, but it was always clear as to what you were supposed to read next.
The pictures were lovely. They were the traditional hand drawn “Mog” illustrations which was a nice touch. They were entertaining and brought the story to life.
Overall a lovely story with an important message that children will enjoy.
