Super cute little book about a bookstore cat. Every bookstore should have one! Mulligan, the cat, has his jobs and they are not always entirely helpful, and then one day a pigeon gets into the shop and Mulligan, doing his job, is less helpful than ever. I have to say, though, the dismay that Mulligan shows at having birds in his shop is not very convincing... it would be funnier if he were delighted about the opportunity for carnage. The illustrations are pretty, though, and I appreciate the underlying humour, but now I want to put the picture book aside and go and find a full length book about a bookstore cat. I read one about a library cat, last year I think. Surely there's a bookstore one about as well...
