Ottoline and the Yellow Cat

04/02/2016 by David O'Connell

ottolineWritten and illustrated by the current Children’s Laureate Chris Riddell, Ottoline and the Yellow Cat  absolutely oozes quality.

Ottoline Munro and hirsute friend Mr Munro investigate a series of burglaries amongst the rich dog-owners of Big City. Ottoline is going to need a very clever plan to solve this mystery.

This multi-award winning book is a treat to look at, thanks to Chris Riddell’s super-detailed and elegant illustrations, with which the book is absolutely packed. The prose is just as refined: the fun is all in the deadpan understatement. It’s a classic, which will look beautiful on any bookshelf. (This is not one to buy in ebook format!)

If you like this try some of the other Ottoline books (such as this one), or even one of The Edge Chronicles with Paul Stewart!

Published by Pan Macmillan. RRP £10.99
