Ottoline and the Yellow Cat (Ottoline, 1)

Product Information

Mr Munroe is Ottoline's friend and is from a bog in Norway. He is a little creature with long, straight hair that Ottoline likes to brush. It is also hinted that Mr Munroe also has a diploma from Who R U. [4] In the book, he disguises himself as a dog named Bimby Bottlenose II, Emperor of Heligoland, Pedigree Norwegian Lapdog (to which they called him Nosey). He draws a map of Apartment 243, for Ottoline to catch the Yellow Cat while trying to steal the money from Ottoline's apartment. Mr Munroe was found by Ottoline's parents in Norway and taken in. He was given a coat and a pair of sunglasses by Ottoline's parents. Mr Munroe lived with Ottoline since she was a baby and they were best friends ever since. The Bear is a bear found by Ottoline, stealing clothes from other people. He lives in the basement which he says is much cosier than his cave. He is taking a holiday instead of hibernating. The Bear's secret is kept by Ottoline, and he keeps quiet about Ottoline eavesdropping on other people. He dresses up as Lady Ursula Jansen-Smith, to try and buy "Bimby" (Mr Munroe) from the Yellow Cat. He appears at the end, hugging the Yellow Cat to try and stop her from escaping. It is hinted in Ottoline's parent's letter that the Bear lives with Ottoline and Mr Munroe after being found. The Bear is not like a stereotypical bear, and he is actually quite nice. He lived in the laundry room and stole clothes from other people. Ottoline and the Yellow Cat is a 2007 children's book by Chris Riddell. It won the Nestlé Children's Book Prize Gold Award [1] and the Red House Children's Book Award for Younger Readers. [2] It was also shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal and nominated for the Carnegie Medal. [3] Characters [ edit ]

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. urn:lcp:ottolineyellowca0000ridd:epub:9b89557d-32b6-495a-92b1-2b3f89f65daa Foldoutcount 0 Identifier ottolineyellowca0000ridd Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t9871h40j Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781405050579 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. Introducing Miss Ottoline Brown, an exceptionally inquisitive Mistress of Disguise, and her partner in crime, Mr Munroe. Ottoline and the Yellow Cat is a quirky mystery-adventure from Chris Riddell, author of the award-winning Goth Girl books.
