About the author

Judith Kerr was a German-born British writer and illustrator who has created both enduring picture books such as the Mog series and The Tiger Who Came To Tea and acclaimed novels for older children such as the autobiographical When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit which give a child's-eye view of the Second World War.

Kerr was born in Berlin but left Germany with her parents and her brother, Michael, in 1933, soon after the Nazis first came to power. They were forced to leave as her father, noted drama critic, journalist and screenwriter Alfred Kerr, had openly criticised the Nazis,who burned his books shortly after the family had fled Germany. They travelled first to Switzerland and then on into France, before finally settling in Britain, where Kerr has lived ever since. She subsequently became a naturalised British citizen.

Reviews

[Robin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mog is an utterly charming and perfectly ordinary, flawed but loveable cat who occasionally stumbles into a remarkable situation. Some may adore the 1970s British domestic setting, others may find it a bit dull. Recommended for cat enthusiasts ages 3-6.

Loved this collection of funny and very true-to-life stories about a cat named Mog. Some pages made my preschooler laugh so hard, she asked me to go back and read select pages.

Mog, what’s not to love. Stories about a cat doing silly things.

This was charming. Mog is such a real cat - the way she is drawn, her postures of reaction, the way her thoughts are narrated - that I kept thinking, "Judith Kerr must be a bona fide cat lady."
