Review: Super - I have to admit that I didn't expect this story to centre around a Superhero. But then again,who has over 200 cats...? So,with my disbelief well and truly suspended,the story fairly rockets along. Saving up for summer camp by doing odd jobs,really odd jobs... I really like the picture of Katie with her arms on the balcony,cats about her ankles and the mysterious figure in the background against the moon. A classic scene that never gets old,brilliant. Some parts of the story are a little far fetched,but well,why not. It's only for entertainment and it certainly does that. Oh,and as for the cats,they remind me of the animated Disney film The Aristocats where they can play musical instruments and dance,ha ha. I suspect this would make a great bedtime story You know,sinc Review: bien - bien pour ma fille qui aime cette bande dessinée. A voir pour commander les suivants
