Everyone's favorite cat is now available in a delightful board book format, introducing even the youngest babies and toddlers to Judith Kerr's forgetful cat. Meet Mog and her family, cat family that is. There is her Mommy and Daddy who live on a farm, her Grandpa who is always hungry, her brother James who has frogs in his garden, her aunt Emma who takes care of a shop and many more. It'll be a big party when they all get together for Mog's birthday. Children will delight in looking at all the different cats, one tabby, one black and white, one long haired and scruffy, and some very very young.

Gentle introduction to family relationships with a touch of humor and lovely illustrations.

Mog's Family of cats is a nice, non challenging book to be read to little kids. Each page has a small drawing (lots of white space around it) and a sentence about the family member. A sample page will show, e.g., a cat with a fish in its mouth and food everywhere with the line, "Here is Mog's grandpa who is always hungry".

In all, a sweet but very retro/old fashioned kind of book that can seem a bit bland compared if compared to the modern full page art spreads of more modern books.

Each page shows a different member of Mog the cat's family, and what they like to do best. At the end, they all get together for Mog's birthday party (she's 3). Toddlers will enjoy identifying what each cat is doing, and other animals in some of the pictures, and you can have them count the candles on Mog's cake. The book is short enough not to tax toddler attention-spans, and engaging enough that even preschoolers will ask to read it again.

Mog is a wonderful family pet, not anthropomorphized, but enjoyed for what she is and loved by her family.
