Ottoline and the Yellow Cat (Ottoline, 1)

Product Information

It's been three months since I taught this book to my group of second graders and they STILL reference it during discussions of entirely unrelated books! Not only that but they bring in other books from the series and insist I look at visual motifs that have carried through from this book, the first in the series.

I've been enjoying the Goth Girl YA series by author and illustrator Chris Riddell. I also enjoyed his illustrations in Gregory Maguire's Cress Watercress. So it was with anticipation that I started Ottoline and the Yellow Cat, the first book in his children's series featuring young adventure Ottoline. It consists of 4 books. Kris Ridl zivi kraj mora u Brajtonu sa zenom i troje dece, svake nedelje crta karikature za novine Observer,a omiljeni slatkisi su mu gumene bombone ( kome nisu?😳😂 ) zbog kojih je i postao ilustrator. Chris has been honoured with an OBE in recognition of his illustration and charity work.Chris lives in Brighton with his family. Ottilian äiti lähettää tyttärelleen postikortteja matkoilta. Ne päättyvät aina P.S. merkintään, missä äiti antaa Ottilialle tai Mauri-herralle ajankohtaisia vinkkejä mm. asunnon siivoamisesta. Jälkikirjoitusten perusteella hän tuntuu tietävän koko ajan, mitä Ottilia puuhailee, vaikka onkin toisella puolella maailmaa.

After a lot of hard work by Mr. Munroe and lot of planning and help from the Service Agencies, Ottoline and Mr. Munroe do manage to catch the notorious jewellery thief and hand her to the Police. The pet dogs are reunited with their owners, some of them actually hated their owners, because they insisted on taking them to a pet saloon. And which dog likes that? Ottoline lives in a stylish apartment in Big City with a small hairy creature called Mr Munroe. Together they look after the Brown family's eclectic collections - and dabble in a spot of detective work. So they are the first to the scene of the crime when a string of high-society dog-nappings and jewel thefts hits Big City.

Ottoline lives in a stylish apartment in Big City with a small hairy creature called Mr Munroe. Together they look after the Brown family’s eclectic collections – and dabble in a spot of detective work. So they are the first to the scene of the crime when a string of high-society dog-nappings and jewel thefts hits Big City. Es muy fácil seguir la historia porque son pocos los personajes, muy distintos entre sí, humanos, perritos y otros seres fantásticos como el Sr. Munroe, un bichito peludo que odia la lluvia y que le cepillen. Riddell's illustrations have a complexity similar to Elenor Davis's The Secret Science Alliance and the Copycat Crook with a style that is reminiscent of Edward Gorey and Ian Falconer.

About Chris Riddell

Ottilia on varsin omatoiminen tyttö, vaikka elääkin varakkaassa ympäristössä: hänen luonaan käy nimittäin päivittäin tyynynpöyhijä, siivoaja, ruokalähetti, valaistussuunnittelija, ovennuppien kiillottaja ja koko joukko muita erialojen ammattilaisia.
