This is exactly the kind of wish-fulfilment story that will make lots of little girls very happy. Isla Palmer longs for a cat, but her mum, a busy vet, is adamant they can’t have one. Then when a stray cat is brought into the surgery Isla finally manages to change her mum’s mind and Poppy moves in. The little cat cheers up every member of Isla’s family, and before they know it they’re looking after another cat, and then another, in fact, as the book ends Isla is getting ready to open a cat café! It’s a story built round friendship, family, the pleasures of ordinary life, and the warm purr of a contented cat, and very satisfying for it.
Readers looking for more sweet, gently cat stories will like Holly Webb’s animal stories, the Animal Ark series, and books by Megan Rix and Sarah Lean.
