I ordered such a lovely book this week, 'The Problem with Pierre' is a gentle story by G.K Smouha, of two lonely men Bertram and Alan. Bertram decides to get a cat for company, but cats have their own minds and needs.
Pierre the cat prefers the cosy messiness of Alan's home and moves in, leaving poor Bertram lonely and unhappy.
In Alan and Bertram's attempts to make Pierre the cat happy they end up breaking down the walls between their homes and create a new home where they can all live happily together.
This is a wonderful book with beautiful illustrations by
Suzanna Hubbard that remind me of the work of both Roger Duvoisin and Mairi Hedderwick.
