"Miss Petitfour enjoys having adventures that are "just the right size - fitting into a single, magical day." She is an expert at baking and eating fancy iced cakes, and her favorite mode of travel is "par avion." On windy days, she takes her sixteen cats out for an airing: Minky, Misty, Taffy, Purrsia, Pirate, Mustard, Moutarde, Hemdela, Earring, Grigorovitch, Clasby, Captain Captain, Captain Catkin, Captain Cothespin, Your Shyness and Sizzles. With the aid of her favorite tea party tablecloth as a makeshift balloon, Miss Petitfour and her charges fly over her village, having many little adventures along the way. Join Miss Petitfour and her equally eccentric felines on five magical outings -- a search for marmalade, to a spring jumble sale, on a quest for "birthday cheddar," the retrieval of a lost rare stamp and as they compete in the village's annual Festooning Festival."--Provided by publisher.

Review of 'The adventures of Miss Petitfour' on Goodreads

4 stars

This was a HUGE hit with the 9 year old. This is the first review book I've gotten that went home with her instead of being visited at my place. She's read it multiple times, and had her dad read it to her. [return][return]It's a mild magical feel, similar to Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, a favorite of ours. The cats and their antics are extra cute and a good way to sneak in a few more illustrations. [return][return]There is a dude character that is clearly interested in our protagonist, but it does not go down romance road. (If it had ended it with a wedding, it would have topped out at 2 stars and been hidden from the kid.) [return][return]Late to review because child ran off with the book before I got to it!
