I have the feeling that the lightly written prose and formulaic story was put together rather quickly. The author's intuitions are basically sound.
My 5-year old, who loves cats and trains, is a committed fan and is still going strong after reading another two from the series. A book of this nature poses a problem in that it is too insubstantial for a good read aloud, but by the time the child is old enough to read paperbacks the subject matter will be too babyish.
Of the 3 I have read, the best was the railway cat's secret and the worst was the railway cat and the horse.

My four year old loves this book. It has just enough danger and mystery for her without scaring her.It has a few basic line illustrations and she can imagine the other scences easily.
I like the book because it is an old fashioned book, like I used to read as a kid,and it is very pro-cat. We have a cat.
Each chapter is a mini story taking about seven - ten minutes to read.I think it is a memorable book.
