5.0 out of 5 stars Gobbolino the Witch's Cat, November 2, 2003

This review is from: Gobbolino the Witch's Cat (Kingfisher Modern Classics) (Hardcover)

This book was read to my class in England, when I was 15 years old. I'm nearly 40 now, and this delightful story has stuck with me for 25 years, until I could read it to my own child. Gobbolino, is a misunderstood soul, a character that all children can asociate with! I now live in Canada, and have spent several years trying to track this book down. Not all stories can drive a mother to these length's, to pass them on to their children. Its a special book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Gobble up Gobbolino, April 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Gobbolino the Witch's Cat (Young Puffin Books) (Paperback)

Reading Gobbolino to my 7 year old has opened up a whole field of fantasy to both of us. Although the language at times needed to be explaned to a seven year old, each chapter was eagerly anticipated. Even as a bed time story it was both suitable and highly original.

Read it (if you can)

Very enjoyable adventure from beginning to end of a witch's cat who wants to be a kitchen cat. Gobbolino's adventures on his way to becoming a kitchen cat. A wonderful story to read aloud to the children.
