I really liked this cute children’s illustrated story. The book tells the story of a cat called Pippin who does not want to take his medicine – a problem all cat owners will have faced at some time, I am sure!

Whist the story is fun and children will enjoy the tale of Pippin I found the words were a bit out of place in a young children’s book, for example “Conniving and Tactical”. However, I am sure parents would swap out any words their child was not yet aware of and for older children it may get them asking questions – and learning.

The vibrant illustrations are cute and funny – sure to catch a child’s attention when reading along. I especially loved the partridge!
