Like the other Mog books, Mog's Christmas presents an engaging and well-written story. The scene in which Mog confronts the moving tree (propelled, unbeknownst to her, by Mr. Thomas), is particularly amusing: Mog thought, "Trees don't walk. Trees should stay in one place. Once trees start walking about anything might happen." She ran up the side of the house in case the tree should come and get her. "Come down," shouted the tree. "Come down, Mog!" "First it walks," thought Mog, "and now it's shouting at me. I do not like that tree at all." And she ran right up to the roof. Then again, when Mog tumbles down the chimney, ala Father Christmas, that too was hilarious! Entertaining, heart-warming, and visually appealing - I really liked Judith Kerr's artwork here! - this is a wonderful addition to the Mog series, and a sweet little Christmas story as well. Recommended to all young cat lovers, and to fans of Mog.
Mog's territory is once again being invaded. This time it's by a giant tree, and decorations, and
In all my years of having Christmas in a home with a cat or two, I've never had a cat on the roof. I did have one cat who fell off the balcony and got lost during a barbecue. The point though is that change can be hard on cats. They have a reputation for being aloof but they really can be put off their game during the holidays, or if there are house guests.
