Description

This is a charming counting book about a cat's day out on the town and all the delectable treats she is fed by her friendly neighbours - with slightly disastrous results! In her typically playful and child-friendly style, Pam has used repetition and reinforcement to introduce the numbers up to seven. We follow Hetty through her journey of pork pies and cupcakes to the dramatic climax and satisfying conclusion, which sees her home and safe again.

Is Your Grandmother a Goanna? won a 2008 Speech Pathology of Australia Book of the Year Award, as did Our Daft Dog Danny in 2010. a 'From Pamela Allen's first publication in 1980 it was clear that here was a creator of picture books with all the glow, gesture, din and dance to capture the attention, engage the imagination, teach, show, tickle and excite small children.' Meg Sorensen, Australian Book Review a Pamela Allen lives in New Zealand with her husband.
