Collecting Cats: 1

Product Information

I first came across Lorna Scobie as the illustrator of Smriti Prasadam-Halls’ Pairs board books and Nicola Davies’ The Variety of Life, so it’s great to see her first solo picture book.

I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books. There was just the right amount of choice to suit everyone without being overwhelming and I received comments from parents and staff about the quality of books offered compared to previous sales which have always been based around current crazes and well known celebrity authors.

Not content with twelve, and still having some unconsumed cheese at the ready, our narrator leaves the remaining bait to do its job.

And then more big cats arrive and out narrator begins to regret their decision, deciding that perhaps collecting cats isn’t for them! Your selection was perfect for our children and what really made the difference was your ability to engage with each child, discuss their interests and help them to choose a suitable book based on your extensive knowledge of the books you were selling. If you want a reference so you can know what sort of book this is, think a little of books illustrated by Jon Klassen. Lorna grew up in the English countryside, surrounded by nature, and her love of the natural world and animal kingdom often inspires her art.No missing or damaged pages, no creases or tears, no underlining or highlighting of text, and no writing in the margins.
