Riassunto

"How much mischief can an invisible cat cause? Plenty, if that cat is Squishy McFluff.... Ava and Squishy charm. Readers will wish that they had a kitty to blame their misdeeds on when they've acted...naughty."
—Kirkus Reviews"This playful early chapter book will attract emergent readers with its rhyming text, widely spaced lines, and sweet red-and-blue illustrations."
—Booklist

Introducing Squishy McFluff! The purr-fect imaginary friend.

When Ava discovers an imaginary cat in the cabbage patch, she knows she's found a new best friend. Together, Ava and Squishy McFluff get up to all kinds of mischief...

Comical rhyming verse - reminiscent of Dr Seuss - for children aged four and above. Complimented by gentle illustrations, this is a wonderful series to help early readers build confidence.

Recensione:

Jones's rhymes are fluid and easy-going and with Okstad's drawings - I particularly like Squishy's "what, me?" face - this is a charming parable of transition for children aged 4 and older (The Times)

Cleverly bridging the gap between picture books and longer fiction, the lovable Squishy is certain to be a success with under-sevens - especially those who have ever had an imaginary friend of their own. (Booktrust)

In delightful rhyme reminiscent of Dr Seuss, this charmingly illustrated book is bound to become a bedtime fave (Gurgle)

Pip Jones's big-eyed adventures of Ava and her naughty invisible cat,Squishy McFluff, will be a surefire hit with any kid who's ever devolved responsibility for wickedness or mishap to a sibling or imaginary friend. (Guardian)

On this evidence his mischief-making, in which he has a more than willing ally in the form of Ava, his young owner, should ensure that he will be purring around for some time. Jones's jaunty verse and Ella Okstad's spirited illustrations are perfect partners in feline crime. (The Irish Times)

The artistry is spot on - Squishy looks as cute as could be (The Bookbag)

This charming short book is happy and funny and pitched just right for emerging readers who will doubtless recognise the situation. And the illustrations are expressive, catching perfectly the emotions of the young heroine. (Scotsman)

We need many more well produced, funny and engaging books like this. (Louise Court Reading Zone)

It's funny, it's charming, it's one not to miss! (Playing by the Book)

We need many more well produced, funny and engaging books like this. They are a long way indeed from 'reading scheme' materials and really put the pleasure into reading. (Joy Court ReadingZone)

Descrizione del libro:
