Daisy and the Trouble with Kittens

Summary

Daisy is going on holiday! In an actual plane to actual Spain! It's so exciting! She's never seen a palm tree before, or eaten octopus, or played zombie mermaids, or made so many new friends!

TROUBLE is, five of them are small and cute and furry kittens!!!! And guess who wants to be their new English Mum?!?

Reviews

  • Gray's instinct for irony goes hand in hand with Parsons' and Sharratt's senses of humour, making the book a worthy and hilarious successor to all the other Daisy books that are available. The book is great fun for reading aloud, or even on one's own
