About this title

Review:

"What have we got here?" said a voice. "Oh - it's nothing," said another.

And the ragged little thing, left in the attic at number 47 when the people move out, who can't remember what or who he is, decides "Nothing" must be his name. Sparked into action by a mouse, who warns him that the new people will try to get rid of him, he sets out on a beautifully illustrated voyage of self-discovery. With the help of a fox, the family cat (who takes him to the new house), Grandpa's memory and a sewing kit, he's restored to his former glory. Tearjerkingly heartwarming. (Ages 2 and over) --Lisa Gee
