The adventures of Miss Petitfour
Anne Michaels
- Reading
- Try reading one outing at a time, pausing to enjoy the cats’ names and the playful language. The tales can also be a prompt to invent a small adventure together.
- Themes
- Five small-scale outings: The tales follow Miss Petitfour and her cats on five village outings, with a tablecloth serving as a makeshift balloon for their flights. The book frames its adventures as brief, day-sized outings, with fantastical travel as part of their playful story world.
- Worth knowing
- The travel is fantastical: Miss Petitfour uses a tea-party tablecloth as a makeshift balloon to fly with her cats. Consider whether this playful impossibility suits your reader’s tastes.
