Description

Pippy, Dad and the cat stuck on the roof waiting for Mum to come home to rescue them.

Quick Summary

If you've got a kid who's just starting to read chapter books or even picture books, this is a fun little pick. Joy Cowley tells the story of Pippy and her dad dealing with a cat who's gotten itself stuck on the roof, and they're both waiting anxiously for Mum to come home and save the day. The humor is gentle and comes from those relatable family moments of things going a bit sideways. It's short enough for newer readers but still has enough personality to keep them interested. Kids who enjoy stories about pets, mild adventure, or just everyday family silliness will probably get a kick out of this one. Parents will appreciate that it's a quick, light read with no iffy content just wholesome fun and a sweet message about family teamwork.
