Gobbolino the Witch's Cat
Ursula Williams
Celebrating 80 years of Gobbolino – the charming tale of a witch’s cat who would rather be a kitchen cat, with the original line drawings illustrations by the author, Ursula Moray Williams.
Gobbolino, the witch’s cat with one white paw and bright blue eyes, would rather be a quiet cat who sits by the kitchen fireside all day. So he sets out on a journey to find a new home, but when people discover he is a witch’s cat he is blamed for mysterious happenings, such as the farmer’s milk turning sour and the orphanage children’s gruel turning into chocolate.
Will Gobbolino ever find the loving, trusting home of his dreams?
This celebratory anniversary edition features a forward from Harriet Muncaster, creator of the Isadora moon series.
A perfect story for the classic A Puffin Book series.

I loved this book because, Gobbolino was very mature and brave. When he was a little kitten, he was born as a witches cat. But he decided he wanted to be a kitchen cat. Gobbolino had a little sister called Sootica. I will miss this book and I will read it again. Gobbolino wanted to be a kitchen cat because he wanted to watch the baby and be warm by the fire.

I feel sorry for Gobbolino because he looks different to the other witches cats.

A strange story of a cat that escapes a cave, gets abandoned, nearly drowns, goes to an orphanage ran by horrible people before he finally finds a home.

I like this book because Gobbolino is brave and goes on adventures by himself and makes new stories.
