Felix

by Pamela Allen Published by Penguin/Viking, 2008

This delightfully dramatic story builds to a suspenseful climax with a happy satisfying end for all. This book will have a wide appeal and it is perfect to read-aloud to the junior-primary students.
The plot revolves around Felix, the cat; he sleeps on Molly's bed and when they come down for breakfast...they find Grandma in a very cross mood. The reason for Grandma's mood is that someone has been eating the bread and jam...Felix is determined to catch the thief and there are hilarious consequences. There is fabulous descriptive language as Felix stalked..."creeping, crawling, slinking, slithering" and other words, "wiggled", "jiggled" and "joggled"; the illustrations are full of energy - a very memorable story.
