Description
With his sparky whiskers and magic tricks, no one could mistake Gobbolino for a simple kitchen cat. But that's just what he longs to be. So, while his sister Sootica learns how to turn mice into toads, Gobbolino sets off to find a family to care for him.
Quick Summary
Gobbolino the Witch's Cat delivers a delightful twist on the "misfit pet" story by giving us a magical feline who desperately wants nothing more than warm milk and a cozy fireside, completely rejecting his witch family's dark legacy. Kids will giggle at Gobbolino's harmless magic tricks gone awry and root for him as he bounces from family to family, searching for the one place that will accept him as a regular cat. If your kid loves the gentle humor and found family themes in The Magician's Nephew or enjoys watching characters break expectations like in The Cat Who Walked by Himself, they'll be completely charmed by Gobbolino's quest. This 29,848-word chapter book is perfect for ages 8-11, ideal for fourth through sixth graders who enjoy whimsical animal adventures with heart.
