A lovely book for parents and siblings of crawling, walking, and clumsy but beautiful toddlers who will emphathise with this story. Especially if you are an animal lover, too. Mrs Clutterbuck's baby LOVES Mog and follows her everywhere! Mog finds the baby a little scary...she needs to escape. She becomes a hero once again when she arrives back just in the 'nick of time' and saves the baby and the day. What treat will she receive this time? Wait and see... Judith kerr at her Mog best.
