 Jill Tomlinson never intended to be a writer. She trained as an opera singer, and then decided to have a family whilst her voice matured. But illness intervened, and she had to find another outlet for her energies. She started on a journalism course, and by the third lesson decided she wanted to write for children. So she did! Jill Tomlinson's animal stories are much-loved and have been best-selling children's books for nearly four decades.

The Cat Who Wanted to Go Home

Plop a peur du noir. Voilà qui est bien ennuyeux quand on est une petite chouette. Elle reste donc au nid lorsque ses parents partent chasser et se réveille le jour, pleine d'entrain. Curieuse, elle descend alors du grand arbre où elle est perchée et fait d'étonnantes rencontres. La petite chouette va-t-elle se laisser convaincre de devenir un oiseau de nuit ?
