Mog the Forgetful Cat Board book – June 5, 2006

We love Mog! You can’t go wrong with this book, it’s a classic

I bought this book purely for reminiscence sake - I wanted my son to have this book that I recall from my childhood. A sweet story about a lovable cat that gets up to mischief and saves his family one night. Really lovely illustrations throughout this board book. I definitely recommend this story.

Mog is every cat. But not quite. She is forever certain that she has not been and never will be fed sufficiently. She absolutely considers the flower box her territory, despite those funny noises her people make when she is up there, staring in the kitchen window at them. Then comes the night when Mog forgets her cat door, wants in, and goes to the flower box to communicate about this with her people, who are not there. Read how Mog saves the day, actually the night. It's a perfect tale for cat people and dog people, too, when a pet becomes a hero.

I had "Mog the Forgetful Cat" as a child and loved it so much I named one of my cats Mog. We purchased this for our son's 3rd birthday. He's asked to read it every day for the past 2 weeks. Even his cousins from overseas are familiar with the book and gushed about how much they love it.The book is a reasonably accurate portrayal of pets doing silly things and the way adults and children react to them. It's nice for children to see that just because mom and dad gripe about the pets the children can still cherish them.

It’s good. I think the wording changed a bit from the original. I assumed it was a hardcover like mine many years ago. But still a cute story and glad to have it.

Anyone who has a resident cat (you cant own a cat), will love and laugh at Mog's antics. Mog has spawned a sub culture in our office with regular quotes from various of the Mog books. eg...although Mog didn't say anything you could tell she was not pleased!Mog is timeless and although I bought the book for myself my son enjoys them as much as I do.

My dad always talks about how he used to read this book to us when we were kids. I was excited to be able to buy him a new copy to read to his grandkids. This is a board book version, which was a little disappointing, because we had the larger, hardcover book (with paper pages) growing up. Still, the book was in perfect condition and at least being a board book means that it will withstand lots of use. My kids love the story of Mog the Forgetful Cat.

45 years ago I bought this book for daughter. She loved the book so I thought of the book for a little who loves kitty cats and searched for it online.Thankfully Amazon didn't let me down. Alyssa loves the book and has taken on the expression "Oh bother", herself. So funny. She is 5 years old.
