Hotel For Cats
by Marie Pavlenko
Age Range: 6-8
At the Hotel Charamba for cats in Paris, Magda, a 75-year-old who loves flower print dresses, milky tea and squishy cushions, is head of the establishment, or so she thinks! Really, there are four cats in charge – bossy Bobine, who secretly wants to learn to knit; tough-talking Mulot; wannabe singing superstar Carpette; and Couscousse, who’s friends with a ghost.
When a scared little black cat called Wolfgang arrives to stay at the hotel, the feline friends set out to find out why he is so afraid and refuses to join in their activities or even visit the “clawsome” cat common room known as Pawsome Place.
Hotel for Cats is the first story in the best-selling series from French author Marie Pavlenko and illustrator Marie Voyelle. The loveable cat characters, lively, chatty narration and text littered with plenty of ‘cat-word’ puns, excellently translated by Anna Brooke, – “she had pawful trouble”; “paw-sitively; “Good meow-ing”; “purr-fectly”; “paw-fect sense” and “purr-lease” – will provide a great source of amusement to all cat-lovers, (including adults!).
