Customer Reviews

A great book from my childhood !

I absolutely love this book. I received a copy of my own for my 4th birthday in 1981. I recently found it in my hope chest and read it to my boys. They loved it and had me read it over and over again. The story is about Tabby's journey to bring her beloved patchwork quilt back home after it has been thrown away.Very few books stick with us for so many years and this was one of them.

This book should not be out of print!!!

Even if the illustrations weren't so gloriously detailed and cozy, this book would win you over with its satisfying story. The patchwork cat is drawn so lovingly that she almost shimmers from the page. Her adventure, which is just scary enough, and her rescue, which will make everyone cheer, are appealingly told from a kitty point of view. My two sons and I rank this as one of our very favorite books for younger children. Don't miss Bayley's illustrations in the truly wonderful story by Antonia Barber, The Mousehole Cat.

Great Childrens book!!

I really hope it gets put back into print!
