''Macavity'', the mystery cat, is a great child’s introduction to character development, rhyme, rhythm and pace, and language. Suavity, depravity and fakir are some gems that may enter your child’s vocabulary. The illustrations in this edition are funny and bring an extra dimension to an already thoroughly entertaining read. Don’t keep this one just for the children – share it with cat lovers, poetry buffs and the whole family. You can even have a giggle on your own.
We can give you a review of this book in [[Macavity's Not There!: A Lift-the-Flap Book by T S Eliot and Arthur Robins|lift-the-flap form]].
If Macavity wets your appetite for T.S.Eliot, give 'The Wasteland' a miss and acquaint yourself with some more felines friends in [[Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats by T S Eliot]] illustrated by Axel Scheffler of Gruffalo fame. You might also enjoy [[The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson]].
