Summary: Gorgeous New Children's Book
Review: Mackerel and his two-legged friend, the lighthouse keeper, reside in an old lighthouse, where a twenty-four-candle lantern is lit, directing ships away from the rocks. Mackerel clims up, up, up with his beloved owner every day, to spend time watching over the sea at night, and in the day, the two head down, down, down, to eat and play. However, on one stormy night, the rapid, howling wind blows out all of the candles in the lighthouse, and a small fishing boat is lost in the sea, without any light to direct him. Mackerel summons eleven of his feline friends, and soon, twenty-four yellow lights appear, flashing left and right, that guide the small fishing boat away from danger.

THE LIGHTHOUSE CAT is a lovely book that will be cherished by all, young and old. The illustrations are utterly remarkable, and the story is beautiful. The lovely prose will have readers of all ages itching to read this book again and again, while cat readers will be racing out to purchase their very own copy of THE LIGHTHOUSE CAT. A must read!
