Mog's Christmas Calamity
Mog and the Thomas family are looking forward to Christmas. But when Mog wakes up, calamity strikes! Can Mog save Christ... MoreMog's Christmas Calamity
Judith Kerr's Mog the Forgetful Cat is simply a classic picture book series everyone needs in their library (yes, even the adults)! It's fun, chaotic and wonderfully silly in all the best ways!
The protagonist of each book in the series is Mog, who is a very forgetful cat. She forgets to eat, so she eats again. She jumps after birds, forgetting she can't actually fly. She is so forgetful, she seems to always find herself in some sort of adventure. But it's all fine because she somehow ends up rescuing her family time and time again. She learns the alphabet and numbers. She gets up to all sorts of things!
This is a fun and sweet picture book series that will make you laugh out loud as you follow Mog's life up to the very end. We've found it to work perfectly for bedtime and storytime.
