Black Cat and Tabby Cat are minding their own business in their own house when a very alarming thing happens. A creature - a large, dog-like creature - appears in their house. Black Cat, always one to take charge, challenges this fearsome creature with all the courage he can muster. Tabby Cat backs him.... from a rather safe distance. The creature is indignant - ''I'm not a dog. I'm a fox!''

And just a quick shout-out to the lovely, warm, illustrations by Luciana Betti. They're done in vibrant colours from nature and take their emotional cues from what's happening in the story. I particularly liked the image of Maggie oh, so carefully and determinedly, pulling the bag of cat biscuits through the door, ready to make away with them. The expression on her face is priceless!

If you enjoyed the hilarious Black Cat and Tabby Cat as much you enjoyed Maggie, you might also enjoy [[Hate That Cat by Sharon Creech]], in which a fearsome black cat wins over a little boy who is missing his beloved dog. [[Forest Life and Woodland Creatures by DK]] will tell you all sorts of things about the wildlife and ecosystems of woods and forests. Grown-ups who love foxes might like to read [[Foxes Unearthed: A Story of Love and Loathing in Modern Britain by Lucy Jones]].
