About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts showing a playful curiosity about the mysteries of the night or if they have ever looked at the family pet and wondered, What are they really thinking? It is a perfect selection for those 'in-between' moments when a child is ready for a little suspense but still needs the safety of humor and a cozy ending. This British folktale follows a church sexton who encounters a series of increasingly strange, talking cats in the woods. His attempts to share these wild tales with a skeptical priest create a delightful tension between the seen and unseen worlds. While it deals with spooky elements like a cat funeral, the tone remains lighthearted and whimsical. It is an excellent choice for children ages 4 to 8 who are beginning to explore the boundary between reality and imagination, offering a safe space to enjoy a 'scary' story that prioritizes wonder over true fright.
