O’Connor, Dennis. Paw tracks in the moonlight, London : Constable & Robinson, 2009.

This is a wonderful true story told by Dennis O’Connor about the three week old kitten he rescued in a snow storm who he names Toby Jug, and the unusually strong bond that develops between them.  O’Connor and Toby Jug share many adventures together, but it is when they go on a camping trip on horseback that a truly beautiful world opens up for them.  O’Connor writes a detailed story, with wonderful visual descriptions that paint a vivid picture of the surrounding Northumberland countryside as well as lovely illustrations that really take the reader on the journey with them.  This book puts new light on the argument that dogs are the only pets that form a strong bond with their human companions, and shows just how devoted some cats are to their owners.
