A charming small-format story about Mog, specially designed for the gift market.
The house is full of strange bustling, there are new noises and new smells, and where is that tree going? Disconcerted by all the unusual activities, Mog escapes to the roof, and there she stays...until, unexpectedly, she returns with a bump!
Praise for Goodbye Mog:
`Kerr's warmth, humour and honesty make this an engaging introduction to a difficult topic' Financial Times
`Believable, amusing and moving' Nursery World
`A supremely sensitive story' The Times
`The best, most consoling book for children on the subject or bereavement...a joy to read' The Independent on Sunday
Judith Kerr OBE was born in Berlin. Her family left Germany in 1933 to escape the rising Nazi party, and came to England. She studied at the Central School of Art and later worked as a scriptwriter for the BBC.
Judith married the celebrated screenwriter Nigel Kneale in 1954. She left the BBC to look after their two children, who inspired her first picture book, The Tiger Who Came to Tea. Published in 1968 and never out of print in the fifty years since, it has become a much-loved classic and perennial bestseller.
Judith was awarded the Booktrust Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016, and in 2019 was named Illustrator of the Year at the British Book Awards. Judith died in May 2019 at the age of 95, and her stories continue to entertain and delight generations of children.
