This is a Year 4 level book. It has all the excitement and magic of Harry Potter except at a Year4 Level. A teacher could read this to a class, or a Year 4 – 6 child read it for enjoyment. It is quite  a long book at 340 pages, but there are only about 200 words per page = 64000 words.

It is quite large print.

Three animals – a bird, a frog and a cat – set off to save a kingdom.  Two of them have magic and one(The cat/narrator) doesn’t. The dimwitted frog made me laugh out loud a few times.

Lots of  goodies vs baddies situations. Plenty of magical animals – an evil seven-headed dragon, levitating cats, spying eyeball fish. An orphan cat.

This book is about friendship, making mistakes and being forgiven. It is also about betrayal and that animals are better at saving kingdoms than people. If you have a kingdom that needs saving get a frog, cat and  bird.
