TOSCA'S

CHRISTMAS

by Matthew Sturgis

illustrated by Anne Mortimer

An illustrated story of Tosca the cat's exploits on Christmas eve.

Tosca the Cat is enjoying her life as normal, dozing in armchairs and dreaming of steamed haddock when suddenly her world is turned upside down.

Her favourite armchair is substituted for a giant tree, she can't sleep on the beds upstairs as there is wrapping paper and gifts everywhere and she can't go into the kitchen to investigate the tempting Christmas smells within.

When Tosca accidently knocks over the Christmas tree trying to reach the angel to make a wish, she is put outside into the cold Christmas Eve night.

Luckily for Tosca, she meets a special friend who may be able to make all her wishes come true.
