It’ll be interesting to see what sort of books Saffron likes as she gets older. Now she loves reading the Junie B. Jones books aloud to her mother, and they both have a good laugh. Will she be called Saffy? Only time will tell. I agree with Dorothy, a lovely review!

Beautiful, Patricia. I really like the crisp style and simple sentence construction in the first part of the review, which seems to mirror the style of the book itself.

hahaha. One day she’ll see your and her mother’s wisdom. And she’ll call herself Saffy when her friends just start doing it naturally. Don’t you think?

One of my granddaughters is named Saffron. Her mother loved Saffy’s Angel and her dad liked a British comedy TV show with a teen character named Saffron. It was the only name they both loved. She is always called Saffron and isn’t quite old enough (she’s eight) for the Casson Family. (Plus she is extremely skeptical of any book recommended by her author grandmother or her school-librarian mother.)

Sheila, you’ll love these. I also love the Casson Family books. I first read Saffy’s Angel and kept going. Hilary McKay is astounding. Thanks for responding.

I just brushed cat hairs from my keyboard and thought that I’m a bit like LuLu, famous for my love of animals. Thanks, Patricia, for this wonderful review! I am an enthusiastic fan of Hilary McKay’s work for slightly older readers and am happy to be introduced to these books for younger kids. I have several granddaughters who are the perfect ages for these stories.
