Kym: the true story of a Siamese cat


Joyce Stranger - 1976
    A more accident-prone cat never lived. Even on holidays he managed to turn their caravan into an ambulance—or a peep-show. A born eccentric and voluble talker, a cat with the grace of a dancer and the instincts of a prizefighter.An endearing story of the misadventures of a unique pet, seen through Kym’s blue-eyed squint, and his owner’s humourous and observant eyes.

The Christmas Cat


Efner Tudor Holmes - 1976
    An abandoned gray cat shivers alone in the cold, snowy forest. In a nearby farmhouse, a young boy worries that Santa Claus might not be able to come in such bad weather. But soon the bitter wind stops howling, and the sound of sleigh bells rings clearly through the woods. Neither the cat nor the boys know it, but a small Christmas miracle is about to occur. Beloved illustrator Tasha Tudor's classic style gives this holiday tale a timeless appeal.
