When Maya sees a cat out in the rain, on a roof, as wet as a seal, as grey as a puddle, she decides to rescue it. Maya attempts to entice Cat down from the roof, out of the rain, with a feather boa, a shoe lace and even a can of sardines.
Cat eventually comes down and Maya attempts to help Cat find his home.
Maya and Cat is a delightful story about a girl who is determined to help a lost cat find his home and is then rewarded with a wonderful surprise…but I won’t spoil the surprise. You’ll have to read it for yourself.
Caroline Magerl’s illustrations are full of character. I adore her style and children will love the detail on each page.
The simple use of onomatopoeia throughout the story will also be a hit with young children as they read along with the story.
There is so much to love about this book. Maya and Cat is a gorgeous book and highly recommended for anyone who has ever cared for a cat, or any animal for that matter.
