The Cat Who Came In Off The Roof

The Cat Who Came In Off The Roof | Avery and Augustine

Tibble, a shy and hapless cat-loving reporter, almost loses his job due to writing too many stories about cats.  Things change when he meets Minou, a woman whom he rescues from a tree one night.  Strangely enough, she possesses cat-like qualities—she's extremely agile, is able to to climb trees with ease and has a tremendous fear of dogs.  She turns things around for his career because she somehow has the inside scoop on the news around town.  We've only just started reading The Cat Who Came in off the Roof and it's a pretty intriguing story so far.

The Cat Who Came in off the Roof was originally written in 1970 by beloved Dutch children’s author Annie M. G. Schmidt.  This edition is a reprint published earlier this year by Delacorte Press.
