Mog's Bad Things

Judith Kerr. HarperCollins (UK), $17.99 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-00-198385-4

Author and artist Judith Kerr creates another installment in the adventure series begun 30 years ago with Mog the Forgetful Cat, Mog's Bad Thing. Debbie's plan to host a cat show in their yard disrupts Mog's routine and causes the feline a great deal of anxiety so much so that she has an accident on Mr. Thomas's favorite chair (and nearly misses the contest).
