About the Author:

Alison Murray (Author, Illustrator) Alison grew up in Lanarkshire near Glasgow and studied Textile Design at Glasgow School of Art. After graduating, she moved to London where she did a variety of jobs, including selling books for Waterstones and designing rugs for Habitat, before going back to university again to study design for interactive media. She co-founded a successful interactive media company but now works mainly as an illustrator and author of picture books.

From Booklist:

Princess Penelope is bored and unable to attract the attention of her mother and father, who are knitting and reading, respectively. Penelope decides to make friends with the kitten who has become tangled in the queen’s yarn. The kitten immediately runs away from the young princess, prompting a chase through the castle and grounds. Murray’s stylized, brightly colored illustrations and buoyant rhymes will delight young readers and make for an enjoyable read-along experience, as they trace the raised lines of the pink, glittery yarn up and down stairs, under tables, and through hedge mazes, entangling butlers, chefs, maids, and gardeners as Penelope is hot on the trail of the runaway kitten. The explanation for the kitten’s adventure (he’s looking for his mother) brings this charming story to a satisfying conclusion. Fans of the Disney princesses, Jane O’Connor’s Fancy Nancy books and Victoria Kann’s Pinkalicious series will adore Princess Penelope and her mischievous kitten. Preschool-Grade 1. --Magan Szwarek
