Miss Petitfour is always ready for an adventure. With her sixteen cats and trusty tablecloth, she takes to the air, never knowing quite where the wind will take her.
A modern children's story for fans of Mary Poppins or Mrs Pepperpot, Miss Petitfour is a future classic.
This is another, longer chapter story we've been enjoying at bedtime. The illustrations were sweet and engaging and the writing was a joy to read aloud. My favourite thing was the cats (all sixteen of them), whose names run in a long list and are so fun to read. Each story was full of charm and delight and was the perfect length for bedtime.
I loved the way difficult words (like 'digression') were introduced with plenty of explanation and examples, and while the vocabulary was sometimes quite advanced for a young audience, it never led to my daughter losing interest in the story, or made it difficult to understand.

The stories were just the right mix of fantastical and funny, and I can definitely see us revisiting them again in years to come.
