Morris in the Apple Tree

By Vivian French and Olivia Villet

The third book about Morris, the lovable fat ginger kitten whose main interest in life is food! A Roaring Good Read for children who are just able to read on their own.

Morris gets chased up the apple tree by a great big dog. He crawls to the end of a very long branch…and then gets stuck. He is much too afraid to come down. His sister, Rose, climbs up the tree to join him, then they are both stuck. His little brother, Tom, rushes up to join them… then they are all stuck on the end of the very long, and now very wobbly, branch. Mother Cat persuades Tom and Rose to climb down. But she cannot get Morris down, he is much too scared. The only thing that will persuade Morris to come down is…FOOD!

A third perfect text for beginner readers by this well-known author.
