Cat Tales: Rain Cat Award-winning author by Linda Newbery (author)

Jessie is helping her dad prepare for the Open Day on his allotment. Unfortunately the long, hot summer means the vegetables look tired and wilted. When a mysterious stray cat arrives at the allotments, one of the gardeners declares it a Rain Cat from Thailand. Jessie has always wanted a pet, and is happy to pamper the cat with presents, making up poems to help the rain come. Naturally, the other gardeners are sceptical. But then it starts to rain… and it won’t stop!
