Trade Review'Pippin and the Medicine I believe will soon become a firm favourite for story time. With its inspiring tale of medical expertise it would be a useful aid in reassuring children who are due to have some medical treatment. Charming, entertaining and purrfect!' ~ Kraftireader 'Made me laugh out loud' ~ Goodreads reviewer 'A beautifully illustrated book for young children (or adult cat lovers). A good one for early readers or reading aloud with toddlers. Explains why it's important to take your yucky medicine so you can get better. I really loved it' ~ Goodreads reviewer
