Susie the tabby cat charms everyone with her boundless curiosity. One weekend, she and her family move to the bustling town of Dorchester. Susie can’t wait to explore but soon discovers it’s not the place for a cat who just wants to have adventures!
This lovely picture book is based on a real cat from Dorchester.
Susie is a cat that keeps turning up in various places in Dorchester Town. But her owner is not worried at all, insisting each time that her cat is 'not lost'.
This story reminds me of Six-Dinner Sid, but instead of going through the houses on the same street, our protagonist visits various establishments you'd find in a typical English town centre. The illustrations are gorgeous, with a great level of detail. What I also like about this book is the cat tips given at the end.
This is a lovely real life story about an adventurous cat who explores her town and makes friends wherever she goes. It’s beautifully illustrated and a really sweet narrative.
