Mog

By Judith Kerr

The classic story about everyone’s favourite family cat – now an App for iPad, iPhone and iTouch.

Mog always seems to be in trouble because she is such a very forgetful cat. She forgets that she has a cat flap and she forgets when she has already eaten her supper. But one night when an uninvited visitor turns up at the house, Mog’s forgetfulness comes in very handy!
• Voice and video recording work seamlessly with iPad, iPhone, and iTouch, allowing parents and grandparents to record their own voices and images as they read the original Mog story—for when they’re there, and for when they’re not.
• The app’s ability to remember several versions means a child can choose his or her digital bedtime storyteller for the evening.
• Classic Judith Kerr illustrations combined with charming animation for the first time, so Mog comes to life with the touch of a finger.
• Children can read alone, or listen along to the narration, sharing a cosy reading experience with parents and grandparents.
• Background animation and dialogue means that curious readers can truly submerge themselves in the world of Mog.
• The app tells the story of Mog in a compelling way for touch-screen readers, whilst remaining faithful to the charming reading experience that has made Mog a national treasure.

Judith Kerr OBE was born in Berlin. Her family left Germany in 1933 to escape the rising Nazi party, and came to England. She studied at the Central School of Art and later worked as a scriptwriter for the BBC. Judith married the celebrated screenwriter Nigel Kneale in 1954. She left the BBC to look after their two children, who inspired her first picture book, The Tiger Who Came to Tea. Published in 1968 and never out of print in the fifty years since, it has become a much-loved classic and perennial bestseller. Judith was awarded the Booktrust Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016, and in 2019 was named Illustrator of the Year at the British Book Awards. Judith died in May 2019 at the age of 95, and her stories continue to entertain and delight generations of children.
