A Kitten Called Moonlight
By Martin Waddell
Illustrated by Christian Birmingham
A beautiful, captivating story-within-a-story, by an award-winning author.
Charlotte has a favourite story. It's a story about a little girl and her mummy who rescue a kitten from the sea. From the car window the little girl spots something moving in the dark, and in the night she and her mother go down to the sea to investigate. There they find a little lost kitten, stranded on a rock. They take him home and call him Moonlight, because they found him by the light of the moon. Charlotte loves the story because it's about her -- and she and her mummy can re-tell it together while Moonlight sleeps on her lap.
- A brand new cover on a children's classic.
