This book is about two curious children pretended to be an owl and pussycat. They are on a quirky adventure, based on the classic Edward Lear poem, The Owl and the Pussycat. I have not read the Edward Lear poem before but I do believe this is a much simpler version of the poem with a lot of fun added in. My son is learning to read and this is a great book to start him off as there are not many words in it. My daughter was very keen on the pictures and raised a couple of questions about the pirate and sea creatures! It is a great book to read at bedtime for their age as it is quite short and packed full of pictures. I rate this book 4 stars out of 5. It is an interesting book with rhymes.
