Synopsis

Say goodbye to MOG in this incredibly moving and stunningly illustrated story from Judith Kerr, creator of The Tiger Who Came to Tea and the MOG series.

Mog was tired. She was dead tired... Mog thought, ‘I want to sleep for ever.’ And so she did. But a little bit of her stayed awake to see what would happen next.

Join the Thomas family as they say goodbye to their dear pet Mog, and get a new kitten. It could all be a disaster, but Mog is still there to help...

A touching tribute to a character beloved for more than fifty years, Goodbye Mog is the perfect story for a gentle introduction to the subjects of grief and bereavement, with the one and only MOG herself.

About this title

Review:

‘Kerr’s warmth, humour and honesty make this an engaging introduction to a difficult topic’ Financial Times

‘A supremely sensitive story’ The Times

‘The best, most consoling book for children on the subject of bereavement...a joy to read’ The Independent on Sunday

Praise for Mog:
‘Since her debut in 1970, Mog has become... a national hero.’ Junior Magazine

‘A firm favourite on children's bookshelves’ The Telegraph

‘Mog is a star, she really is. I can't recommend her highly enough. Someone should give that cat a medal, or an egg for breakfast.’ The Bookbag

‘Delightful stories about the family cat with attitude.’ The Guardian

Praise for Judith Kerr:
‘One of the best authors a child of 3+ could encounter.’ The Times

“It’s no surprise Judith’s work is still popular. It owes nothing to the vagaries of style or fashion. Her warmth and humanity are timeless.” Michael Foreman

From the Publisher:

From the front cover, with a cheeky-looking Mog leaping into the great mouse-heaven in the sky, there is nothing mawkish about this tale. It succeeds in making death natural, not at all scary, almost life-affirming. It would be a terrific choice of book for a child who has recently lost a pet.
