Anyway, I digress, the point of this post is that an extra bonus of getting Clare was that I also *got* Emmi! I sent Emmi The Tiger Who Came To Tea - my favourite book of all time - even today - I'm almost certain she has it but I couldn't resist and didn't want to run the risk of her not having THE BEST BOOK EVER.
I got a little bit carried away and wrote The Cat Who Came To Tea featuring Emmi..
...below is the result... it's clearly modelled on The Tiger....
Hope you enjoy!
The
Cat Who Came To Tea
The Cat Who Came To
Tea
It
was a sunny Tuesday afternoon and Emmi and her Mummy were settling down to read
some books after lunch.
All
of Emmi’s favourtie books were piled up waiting to be read.
Emmi’s
Mummy had just opened the first book when there was a knock at the door.
‘Who
could that be?’ Emmi’s Mummy said, ‘We’re not expecting anyone.’
Emmi
wondered who it was too.
Emmi
and her mummy opened the door and on the doorstep stood the most beautiful grey
cat they’d ever seen.
‘Hello,’
said the cat, ‘I was wondering if you had any tea?’
‘We
do have tea,’ replied Emmi’s Mummy, ‘but we’ve just had lunch, isn’t it a bit
early for tea?’
‘You’re
right,’ said the cat, ‘may I come in and play until it’s tea time?’
Emmi
liked this idea and giggled as she showed the cat in.
Emmi
showed the cat the swimming pool where she and her Daddy practice swimming.
The
cat put a paw in the water and jumped back in surprise.
‘Oh
I don’t like that! Its all wet! Is there
anything we can play with which is dry?’
Emmi
took the cat back inside and showed him all her toys. The cat especially liked Sophie the giraffe.
They
then played with Emmi’s puzzle’s.
Emmi
decided the Cat needed to look pretty so dressed him up in her favourtie flower
hairband, her Mummy’s sunglasses, and 3 bangles.
The
Cat looked wonderful.
Emmi
dressed up too and was very pleased with herself.
The
Cat was less than impressed.
‘Why
don’t you show the Cat the rest of the house whilst I make us some tea?’ Emmi’s
Mummy suggested.
Emmi
thought this was a brilliant idea and ran around the whole house showing the
cat EVERYTHING. The cat struggled to
keep up.
‘I’m
a bit tired now,’ panted the Cat, after a particularly fast lap of the kitchen,
‘maybe we could play with something sitting down?’
Emmi
giggled again and scampered back to the sofa and her pile of books.
Emmi’s
Mummy brought in a pot of tea, some juice for Emmi and some cake.
Emmi’s
Mummy started reading all the books with cats in as the cat stretched out and
enjoyed listening to Emmi’s Mummy’s reading.
Emmi’s
Daddy came home a while later and found the three of them curled up on the sofa
reading.
