Mog the Forgetful Cat

 By Judith Kerr

I found this book a little disappointing, but it's one of my husband's favourites.  It's a little dated, is meandering and has odd stuff in it that I skipped over when I first read it to my daughter.

 The writing in it is pretty advanced, especially considering this is a board book.  It's probably appropriate for ages three and up.

The art is pretty cute.  And it's a story about a cat.  My daughter will basically listen to any story about a cat with rapture.  Other books in this series are geared towards babies and are absolutely perfect for kids under two.  I think this was the first one in the series, and that's why it's so weak.


Explaining burglars to a toddler is difficult.
