Too wired to relax despite some yoga and a bath, the next day Squirrel cries “DISASTER” at the sight of bare branches. But no matter who she asks; surfers, young boys playing with boats and marines, no one can get Suzy home until a brave man swims the channel! Jill Tomlinson's animal stories are much-loved and have been best-selling children's books for nearly four decades. Even though an old lady takes her in, Suzy grabs every opportunity (she thinks) to find a way home: She rides a surfboard, swims beside a channel swimmer, gets stranded on a submarine and pussyfoots aboard a ferry boat to France. Ce să mai vorbim de mătușica Jo, care e de părere că o pisică trebuie să stea obligatoriu acolo unde o pui, adică în coșuleț, lucru cu care Suzy este în total dezacord.

Papagalul Biff, de exemplu, este de părere că e foarte deștept (doar că nu prea reușește să ne convingă), iar echipajul unui submarin este de părere că pisicuța Suzy se află în proprietatea amiralului (nici pomeneală de așa ceva, bineînțeles).

Viaţa lui Suzy este perfectă, dar, din păcate, căldura o copleșește într-o zi şi adoarme într-un coş foarte mare, care o poartă până în Anglia, departe de familia ei. Her first story, The Bus who went to Church, was rejected by sixteen publishers before it was accepted for a picture book.The scrapes that she gets herself into while trying to find a way back to France are highly amusing, even to my 30-year-old self. Filled with gentle humour and comfort, Jill Tomlinson’s animal stories have been enjoyed by children who want to snuggle down with a good read for decades.

The Cat Who Wanted to Go Home by Jill Tomlinson | Goodreads

Băiatului meu i-a plăcut aventura lui Suzy și s-a întristat un pic că a rămas mătușica Jo fără vreo veste de la pisică. The classic story about a cat in danger of using up all of her nine lives from the author of The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark. I had to flick to the back of this book when I began to read it to make sure that Suzy did eventually get home as I found it so sad so maybe warn children first, particularly if they have cats, but other than that a great book.
