MUSHKA AND
THE NAUGHTY LIST
How far will one small kitten go out of love for her human?
by Tammy Pemper (Author), Nadezhda (Illustrator)
Mushka, the kitty, was happy at home.
She stayed by Hope’s side, never far did she
roam.
When Hope asked for help, Mushka didn’t think
twice,
But some of her “help” Hope called “naughty,
not nice.”
When a playful, mischievous kitten finds herself—and her beloved human— on Santa’s Naughty List, she’s determined to set Santa straight. Unfortunately for Santa and his workshop, Mushka brings chaos wherever she goes, and this adorable feline won’t take ‘no’ for an answer.
Mushka and the Naughty List is the first in this beautifully illustrated, newly released series.
The picture book is for lovers of humorous books, cats, unconditional bonds, and non-judgmental acceptance. It has its beginnings in the Pacific.
While living in the Solomon Islands, Australian author Tammy Pemper, adopted an orphaned street kitten, named Mushka.
Within two years, Mushka learned English, got a visa, and travelled back to Australia with Tammy. Since then, the two of them have been writing children’s books – and one of them has been destroying Christmas trees.
