Samantha Mattocks's next book in her spellbinding The Mister Mishkins Series is full of charming world-building and reminiscent of Studio Ghibli classics.
Here's what readers have to say about this book....
An instant classic! Only those who need Mister Mishkins and his apothecary of fellow cats can find Mosaic Street, and the travelling nature of this mysterious part of town mean this series is well placed for multiple sequels and countless children in need of assistance. The named chapters focus on different issues and the helpful apothecary cats provide useful and thoughtful guidance to the range of visitors that different readers may see themselves in. It is perfect to read to younger children as the beautiful illustrations perfectly capture the descriptive and detailed writing, and ambitious enough to extend slightly older children's vocabularies. Putting high quality books into the hands of children is vital in today's literary crisis, and this book should be a staple on every child's bookshelf.
