Margaret Mahy...

Puffin books have just re-relased several of Margaret Mahy's brilliant children's books - including one of my favs The Three-Legged Cat. Mrs Gimble's cat would love to prowl, but has only three legs. Mrs Gimble's brother, who prowls the world, comes to visit and mistakes the cat for his hat. A ridiculous story with wacky humour. To see more of Magaret's books hop on over here to The Children's Bookshop. Run by John McIntrye and his team, The Children's Bookshop is a treasure trove of reading goodness.
