Summary
When Ivy's friend Kei suggests that they camp out overnight, Ivy is nervous about sleeping outside in a dark garden. But brave Queen Sardine promises to keep guard outside their tent all night! As the camping sleepover looms Ivy starts to worry, though, and Queen Sardine is worried too: Big Molly has upset the other cats on Kipper Street by eating from their bowls and muttering to herself. Why is she behaving so strangely?
Camping out is wonderful and the girls have great fun . . . until the campers are woken by frightening noises in the night. Her Majesty investigates, only to discover that Big Molly has given birth to four gorgeous kittens! One of them has wandered off and may have tumbled into the badger set. Is Queen Sardine brave enough to help find the lost kitten?
A sweet, playful and gorgeously illustrated story about friendship, bravery and kittens.
