A little girl knits a cat – but leaves a stray thread in its tail. A naughty mouse pulls on the thread and the tail unravels.

Outside, a wise owl has the sense to tie the loose wool into a bow and when the cat returns home the little girl reknits the tail properly.

A sweet, easy-to-follow, story by an Italian-born artist, whose clear pictures have vivid colours and strong patterned borders.
