Praise for Kitty series: 'Kitty and her friends are hugely
appealing characters and this little story is full of useful,
important lessons about friendship, bravery, and finding courage
within yourself. It is a perfect book for little girls and boys
confidently reading on their own.' * Books for Keeps *
'The first in a lovely new series for fans of Isadora Moon, Kitty
is a relatable little girl whose night-time adventures feature a
cast of lovely cat characters - adventurous Figaro, sophisticated
Katsumi and curious Pixie. A gentle theme of friendship, bravery
and being yourself also runs throughout.' * Book Trust, Kitty and
the Moonlight Rescue *
'Kitty's magical story is enhanced and energised by the detailed
illustrations that breathe life into the cheeky cat characters and
the fantastic garden they find. A great first outing into the world
of 'chapter' books, Kitty's exploits are ideal for reading aloud or
to bridge the gap between picture books and lengthier fiction.' *
