The Cat Who Came in off the Roof

De: Annie M. G. Schmidt, David Colmer - translator

Narrado por: Katherine Kellgren

A charming Dutch classic that withstands the test of time worldwide and will appeal to readers young and old - and dog and cat lovers alike!

Shy reporter Mr. Tibble is close to losing his job because he only writes about cats. But when an act of kindness brings him into contact with the unusual Miss Minou, his luck suddenly begins to change.

Minou provides Tibble with juicy news. But it's who is giving her the gossip that's newsworthy. Minou claims that the tips come from her local feline friends, who are the eyes and ears of the neighborhood. Tibble is appreciative but can't help wondering: How could this be? And why is Minou so terrified of dogs and so skilled at climbing trees and rooftops?

It's almost as if she’s a cat herself.

What a Fun Story!

Cleverly written story - quite charming! A fun way to spend time listening to this story.

Cute story

Sweet little story with some good lessons about the caring of animals, I liked it very much!

Fun to listen to, and kids can listen too!

we love to listen to audio books while drawing or picking up or especially in the car. it can be hard to find things for both adults and kids. Though a touch on the unbelievable side, still fun for me and the kids loved it!

Really cute cat story for children (and adults)

I really loved the book, and my 3 year old asked me to play it often. We only listen to a little bit every time, but the performance is fabulous, amd the story is very creative and funny!

Fun Sory

My Grandson says Thank you for the story. I listened with my Grandma and we enjoyed it

Cannot finish this book.

I listened to the first few chapters of this book and the narration was so annoying I had to stop and take a break. I decided on order to be fair that I should start all over. I listened for a few minutes and could not continue. The narrator over emotes which is distracting and takes away from the personalltirs of the characters thus disallowing the listener from getting to know them as written by the author. I really wanted to hear this book but had to stop listening. I am legally blind, subscribe to Audible and have listened to many recorded books. This is the first I have not completed. Overall and story ratings are impossible to judge but must he done in order to submit this review.
