Hootworthy or not?
🦉 Owl Be Reading Review: Gobbolino the Witch’s Cat by Ursula Moray Williams 📚 Hoot Factor – ⭐⭐⭐ I liked the idea of a witch’s cat who wanted to be normal, but the story felt a little long in places. Gobbolino kept trying to fit in and be good, but something always went wrong! I felt sorry for him, but I also found it a bit sad sometimes. 🎨 Owl-some Illustrations – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The drawings were very old-fashioned but really sweet. Gobbolino looked very cute! 💡 Little Owl’s Takeaway – ⭐⭐⭐ You can be who you want to be, even if others expect something else. 💬 Hoot or Boot? – 3/5 Hoots – Meow-sical Hoot Not my favourite, but it had a good message and a unique main character.
