The Adventures of Miss Petitfour
The Adventures of Miss Petitfour | Anne Michaels, Emma Block
2 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
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. A whimsical, beautifully illustrated collection of tales that celebrates language, storytelling and small pleasures, especially the edible kind!

“If you have something to do everyday, make it fun and you‘ll never be bored.”
I was quite bored with the stories in this book. They‘re fanciful, stories about Miss Petitour and her 16 cats- their adventures when they travel with tablecloths around the village. The cats‘ names are rather funny. While the stories are lacking in interest, the illustrations are very lovely. I totally bought the book because of the illustrations.

A book as sweet as the titular character's name. Emma Block's illustrations are delightful paired with Anne Michaels' whimsical text.
