Percy the Talking cat

Deeva, my 8 year old brought this book from school a few days ago. Mehr (7 years old) read the first few lines and she could not get enough of it. Of course the rivalry between Deeva and Mehr who both enjoy reading was not unusual.Deeva and Mehr found this book an easy, humorous and very entertaining read. Both read the book twice and the term 'put a sock in it' has become commonplace in our household.Based on their enthusiasm I picked up the book (commited to science, technology and innovation) and even I found the book amazingly amusing, entertaining and some of the inventions described in the book are definitely food for thought. The exploits of the two inventors and Percy are outrageous enough that the politically unacceptable parts of the book were seen as only part of a fantasy story by both my children and therefore it was considered harmless. I refer to Percy stealing food from their neighbours for a meal for the three of them. The story is broken up into chapters which are long enough to maintain continuity but short enough so that it is not an onerous task for a seven year old.Deeva and Mehr are looking forward to reading other books by Judy Corbalis which we will obtain shortly.

Funny, excellent, hysterical.

Put a Sock In It Percy is excellently funny. Have you ever heard of a Flattering Foot Wiper a Self Making Bed or even a Trouble free Tea Maker. If not meet Mr and Mrs Fooby lartil 2 inventors. One day Mr Fooby latril picks up a cat in the pond. The couple call him Percy after Mrs Fooby lartils uncle. Percy ate some mixture of glue. And he starts to talk far too much that he can't stop. With a lot of excitment with Percy, Mr and Mrs Fooby - lartil, The Grimbotts, The Town Clerk and The Mayor, this is so funny you'll laugh so much your neck will hurt!
