Mog the forgetful cat returns in this fifth title devoted to her adventures, sharing a day of activities with her young human. Narrated by a very young Nicky, this simple board book follows the human/feline duo as they wash and dress in the morning - young Nicky needs his socks, whereas Mog already has her fur - engage in hours of play, eat their meals, and finally go to bed. From waking up to falling asleep, boy and cat do everything together...

Originally published in 1984, this miniature board book follows upon three picture-books - Mog the Forgetful Cat (1970), Mog's Christmas (1976), Mog and the Baby (1980) - and an early-reader - Mog In the Dark (1983) - devoted to the Thomas family's adorable cat. Aimed at significantly younger audience than any of the earlier titles, Mog and Me contains a simple text, with basic vocabulary and only a few words per page. This is more of a concept book for babies, than a proper story, which might disappoint readers hoping for another hilarious and heart-warming adventure featuring the somewhat befuddled Mog. That said, the artwork here is just as winsome as in the other books, with Mog's expressions as droll and amusing as ever. Recommended to anyone looking for appealing board books for babies, as well as to fans of Mog (like me), who feel that they must track down every single one of her stories. ( )
