Ginger Board Book

by Voake Charlotte (Author)

Synopsis

Ginger is a very contented cat. He lives with a little girl who takes perfect care of him. But one day she brings home a naughty little black kitten and Ginger's blissful world is turned upside down! The kitten jumps on Ginger, cats his food and even sleeps in his basket until eventually Ginger decides to leave home. But the little girl misses Ginger very much, so she goes outside in the rain to look for him. Eventually she finds him, wet and sad, hiding under a bush. She brings him back inside and tucks him up in his basket, but she's sorry that Ginger and the naughty little kitten can't get on. But when she comes back later, she finds Ginger's basket empty and both cat and kitten in the cardboard box, getting along famously! Brilliantly designed and edited to preserve the splendour of the original artwork and text, this classic picture book has been superbly reinvented and adapted into this practical new format, perfect for very young children.
