For fans of Mary Poppins, heroine Miss Petitfour and her feline friends return for more flights of fancy in this cozy, charming collection of illustrated stories, now in paperback.

Miss Petitfour enjoys having adventures that are ""just the right size"" for a ""single, magical day."" With her sixteen cats and the aid of a tablecloth as a makeshift balloon, Miss Petitfour soars - which is to say, she rises high in the air and flies - over her charmingly eccentric village, encountering adventures along the way. One never knows where the wind will take her in this delightfully seasonal collection of magical outings- perhaps to the aid of dearly loved friends and neighbors, including a hapless handyman and an onion-loving baby, or to a coconut-confetti parade, or in search of keys, lucky charms or even simply the perfect tablecloth for her next flight. A witty, whimsical, beautifully illustrated collection of tales that celebrate language, storytelling and all the pleasures of life, large and small!

Reviews for The Further Adventures of Miss Petitfour

This gentle book is so utterly charming. . . . Chock-full of cheer and whimsy. A scrumptious reminder that even the smallest details and moments can hold vast amounts of magic. --Booklist
