Mog is alone, in the dark, and starts imagining all sorts of things. Little birds turn big and nasty and sprout teeth, mice swell to ten times their normal size and chase Mog, rather than the other way around, and dogs develop an ability to climb trees. Mog's worries disappear after dozing off - but then the fun really starts! My two-year old adores this fantastic tale of strange flying creatures and "big Daddy mice", as she puts it - and is even learning to read through her love of the text.

This book is a little different from the typical MOG books - it is written with a limited word count to encourage young readers which explains the repeatition of the previous reviewer. I was afraid my daughter wouldn't get it and would even be scared by it - Mog's asleep in the dark and seeing strange dogbirdmouse creatures but she absolutely did understand the fantasty and the very comforting ending of Mog being at home with her people resolved everything in the nice way toddlers like. We've read it so many times. But yes it is different - if it is your first Mog book and it doesn't capture don't give up on this series - they are great. They don't treat children as sensitively as more modern books - (Mog frightens a burglar, Mog dies) But it doesn't seem to cause my duaghter any issues (coming up to 3), Mog always end up on top, safe with her family (bar in the obvious title of course). We love them - and as for the Tiger comes to Tea... best money ever spent and our introduction to Judith Kerr.

Me & my daughter both love reading the Mog book series. She has developed a real affinity for them, especially as we ourselves have a female cat who's grey. She is more than happy to read the same ones over & over (even in the same day) but the same can't be said for this one. She hasn't touched it following the one bedtime read we had with it. I don't think the story is very strong & the i didn't feel a lot really happened. My little girl always likes to talk about whats happening on the pages but she simply wasn't interested. If you are new to the Mog series i would highly recommend the original 'Mog the Forgetful Cat', 'Mog & Bunny', 'Mogs Christmas' & Mogs Bad Thing' all of which have fantastic stories & lovely pictures to look at. If you are in the mood for a cry then try 'Goodbye Mog'.
I read Mog as a child & i love to see that the stories have stood the test of time & don't seem dated & still appeal to young children.
This book has already been used as a party game prize so not to go to waste!

Not the average Mog book, but great for learning to read
I agree with a previous reviewer: I think this book is aimed at encouraging children to start reading for themselves. Read more

Weird!
I don't know what Judith was on when she wrote this, but it's weird! I can't even bear to read it to my little boy, although he seems to like it. it's just so strange and random. Read more

Such a hard book to read and soooooo boring
My 6 year old daughter brought this book home from school for home reading. It's the 1st Mog book we've read and had I not read the previous review it would probably be our last. Read more
