A charming story collection from Michael Morpurgo and illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees – full of friendship and adventure, and perfect to read together.

Take part in the heroic rescue of a fishing boat in trouble, meet a boy who makes an extraordinary discovery in the vegetable patch, and find out how a farm cat forms a very special connection with a young Ukrainian girl.

These three uplifting stories capture the wonder, muck and magic of a city child’s week on the farm.

From Michael Morpurgo, co-founder of the charity Farms for City Children, and illustrated by Guy Parker-Rees, this charming story collection for young readers celebrates the countryside and the way its landscape and animals can leave an impression on a child’s heart forever.

Katerina the Cat and Other Tales from the Farm is a delightful book that brings to life the joys of the countryside, making it an ideal read for young adventurers eager to explore the world of farms and friendship.
