Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Judith Kerr's Mog the Forgetful Cat is back in a 30th anniversary edition. Mog's absentminded ways get her into trouble. For instance, she forgets that she has a cat flap in the kitchen door, so she squashes the flowers in the window box trying to get the Thomas family's attention. But when her forgetfulness helps to catch a burglar, Mog becomes a hero. Cartoonish drawings capture Mog's eccentric ways and the warmth of the Thomases. ; Feb.

WE REALLY ENJOY THIS BOOK. I AGREE W/ THE LAST REVIEWER, "DRAT THAT CAT" SOUNDS BETTER, SO WE SAY THAT INSTEAD OF "BOTHER THAT CAT". ANOTHER GREAT BOOK BY KERR IS 'THE TIGER WHO CAME TO TEA'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cutest little line of books I've ever read!, March 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mog, the forgetful cat (Hardcover)

Mog is a very cute little cat that always gets into trouble and somehow saves the day, accidentally, and gets a reward, this is the perfect book for a baby or toddler. I was read this book 13 years ago when I was a little kid. I love this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Drat That Publisher, October 27, 2007

By 

Amy (Portland, Oregon) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mog the Forgetful Cat: 30th Anniversary Edition (Hardcover)

This book was one of my favorites as a child, so I purchased a copy to give my four year old niece for Christmas. I couldn't believe they changed the best part of the story, and replaced it with "Bother That Cat"

I had my original copy for years, and read it often when I worked as a nanny or in daycare. The children always loved shouting "Drat That Cat!" at Mog's antics.

Disappointed.
