In Kitty, Bel Mooney has created a popular heroine with whom all ages can identify--by turns naughty, grumpy and mischievous, but with a heart of gold when it really counts. In this, the tenth book in the series, Kitty is suffering from boredom--there"s no-one to play with, her parents are busy with the new baby and all her friends want to do is watch television. And when Kitty"s bored, look out! Each chapter is a short story in itself and shows Kitty coming to terms with the changes to her family"s life brought about by the arrival of a new baby. Despite her determination to resist the charms of the newcomer, Tom, Kitty soon finds herself falling for his charms. These funny and affectionate tales are full of authentic details of family life--Kitty"s naughtiness will be all too familiar to parents of young children, while said children will delight in her uninhibited mischievousness. --Philippa Reece
