Sweet Cherry Publishing are know gor their wonderful children's books as they're charming and engaging for the reader. Herriot, the Caretaker Mouse (part one in the Magic Animal Café series) by Stella Tarakson, is no exception.

What child wouldn't want to read about talking animals, a nest of mice led by Herriot, who are guardians of an abandoned property and a bit of mystery?

There's also a cat café on the way, and whilst not my thing? My teenagers absolutely love the one near where we live, so I know it will appeal to anyone who loves cats. (I will say I do,  I just get pestered enough by my own three cats, without going out to have a cat in my way!)

This story is one that's perfect for a bedtime read. However, I do want you to know that it ends on a cliffhanger, so perhaps ensure you have the sequel ready to go if you're not ready for protest from under a duvet! 

I wonder what will happen next? Also..  I just realised that the mouse might be named after famed Yorkshire vet, James Herriot.
