Tippy.

by Sally Scott

"A beguiling kitten story, with people merely part of the background, as Tippy, last kitten in a litter, thinks life too lonesome and starts out on his own to find a home with company. Without sentimentality or melodrama, he goes his way, finding too many dogs and children in one home, too little love in another, and finally happens on a farm household where nine cats are not too many and he is joyfully adopted. A real personality has Tippy, and the wash drawings by Beth Krush will enchant both small listeners and those adults to whom kittens appeal. There's humor and charm, and they help tell the story where second year readers might find the vocabulary tough going." - Kirkus Reviews

About the author

Sally Scott wrote her first novel as an 11-year-old. It was a Famous Five pastiche and every word was precious. She kept writing cosies until an arts degree led to experimentation with short stories. None of them publishable, but joyous to write. Then ‘adulting’ happened and creative writing gave way to articles, papers and grant applications needed for her to pretend to be an academic. After lapsing from teaching, she began working as a weapons systems contractor and then at a gaming machine testing consultancy in Melbourne. After eight years interstate, Sally returned to WA to do a last hurrah at Curtin University before establishing her own business development consultancy in the engineering and construction sector. Fromage is the first novel in the Alex Grant series.
