Krenimo polako u Velegrad gde nas u zgradi Bibernici cekaju Otolina koja voli da resava teske zagonetke , smislja lukave planove,da sljapka barama i sakuplja svasta,i njen priljatelj gospodin Manro koji je mali , cupav i ne voli kisu niti da se ceslja. El lenguaje, ameno y conciso, hace que nos sumerjamos sin problemas en la historia, incluso incorporando en ella palabras inventadas de lo más atrevidas, una lectura ágil con una combinación refrescante de ilustración chispeante y un diálogo fundamental. Ottilia on valepukujen valtiatar, josta hänellä on Puijausopiston todistus. Valepuvuista onkin hyötyä, sillä kaupungissa tapahtuu jotain outoa: sylikoiria katoaa ja rikkaiden rouvien koruja varastetaan. Ottilia päättää selvittää, mikä on rikosaallon takana, apunaan luotettava ystävänsä Mauri-herra. I've been enjoying the Goth Girl YA series by author and illustrator Chris Riddell. I also enjoyed his illustrations in Gregory Maguire's Cress Watercress. So it was with anticipation that I started Ottoline and the Yellow Cat, the first book in his children's series featuring young adventure Ottoline. It consists of 4 books.

It's been three months since I taught this book to my group of second graders and they STILL reference it during discussions of entirely unrelated books! Not only that but they bring in other books from the series and insist I look at visual motifs that have carried through from this book, the first in the series. On the Urban Safari, the Purple Fox shows Ottoline that the city is populated at night with flamingos, meerkats, miniature zebras and shy gorillas. I think Riddell included all of these animals simply because it would be fun to draw them. All in all though I loved this book a whole lot, and I hope that Chris Riddell will make many more. I would highly recommend this one. Mislim da svako ko je citao Gejmena zna koliko je talentovan ilustrator Kris Ridl...a da li ste znali da on ima i svoje knjige? 😊There is just one thing that I am still hoping for. That we will meet Ottoline's parents once. Even if it is a flash-visit, I would still love to see them come home. La protagonista de esta historia es Ottoline, una niña que vive en un edificio al que llaman molinillo de pimienta por su forma tan parecida a un molinillo de pimienta, junto a sus padres y el Sr. Monroe, pero sus padres pasan mucho tiempo fuera de casa por sus viajes y ella tiene que valerse por sí misma cada día. Debido a esto, ha aprendido a tomar decisiones, a no tener miedo, a buscar soluciones a problemas, a ser muy observadora y fijarse en detalles y estar siempre alerta. Things were going fine until they discover that many dogs had just disappeared, the pet owners were distraught and the police utterly baffled. Who could be behind it all? Then they discover that a slinky, intelligent cat has a pet lending Agency, could the two events be tied up? Ottoline Brown is the daughter of very famous scientists, Professor and Professor Brown. Her parents travel all over the world and always get her spectacular and exotic gifts, like the five spouted teapot. Although Ottoline lives all by herself in a luxurious apartment, she is never alone, there is Mr. Munroe a hairy bog creature from Norway, then there are all those Services which look after her, the food people, the people who make her bed, the service that shines the doorknobs. Ottoline is surrounded by people and never alone but at times she feels lonely and that is when she needs to brush Mr. Munroe's silky hair till it shines. Mr Munroe hates it, but he loves Ottoline.

Introducing Miss Ottoline Brown, an exceptionally inquisitive Mistress of Disguise, and her partner in crime, Mr Munroe. Ottoline and the Yellow Cat is a quirky mystery-adventure from Chris Riddell, author of the award-winning Goth Girl books. We meet 2 Foxes, a girl who looks like Ottoline (and even has a hairy friend just like Ottoline has), it was just a delight. I was a bit looking forward to some sort of twist though as to why the girl was so similar to Ottoline. But nothing really happens with it, the only thing that happens is that they are both amazed, and keep saying the same sentence.Miss Ottoline Brown is an exceptionally inquisitive Mistress of Disguise living in Big City, who also has a diploma from the Who-R-U Academy of Disguise. She can solve any mystery that comes her way, as long as she has her yellow cat assistant by her side at all times, her trusty and faithful Mr Munroe.

I loved how Goth Girl made a cameo in this one, and I loved how Ottoline dreamt of Goth Girl. I wouldn't mind having a book with both characters in it. :) Ottoline lives in a stylish apartment in Big City with a small hairy creature called Mr Munroe. Together they look after the Brown family's eclectic collections - and dabble in a spot of detective work. So they are the first to the scene of the crime when a string of high-society dog-nappings and jewel thefts hits Big City. Chris Riddell on tullut tutuksi Ada Gootti lastenkirjoistaan. Osasinkin siis varautua tarttuessani Ottilia ja keltainen kissa -romaaniin hupaisaan tarinaan ja ihastuttavaan kuvitukseen. Mustavalkoisen kuvituksen yllättävänä väripiristeenä on punaista.I loved the tour part as it showed a new side to the city/town and also the various creatures that apparently lived there and you totally didn't expect. On cuva Otolinu dok su njeni roditelji na putu, gde nabavljaju nove stvari za njihove zbirke kao sto su kraljevske kape i krune, meteoriti, skoljke, izuzetno male slike, bocice za mirise, termofore, plave bocice,mreze za hvatanje leptira, maske , itd.. Como no podía faltar en este número, otra historia de originalidad se muestra ante nosotros, llena de misterio y sobre todo de amistad, una búsqueda sin descanso para encontrar a un amigo perdido y volver a casa, donde por el camino nuestra favorita protagonista se irá encontrando con numerosos participantes simpatiquísimos y muy amables que la acompañarán algunos tramos en su aventura. The Bear is a bear found by Ottoline, stealing clothes from other people. He lives in the basement which he says is much cosier than his cave. He is taking a holiday instead of hibernating. The Bear's secret is kept by Ottoline, and he keeps quiet about Ottoline eavesdropping on other people. He dresses up as Lady Ursula Jansen-Smith, to try and buy "Bimby" (Mr Munroe) from the Yellow Cat. He appears at the end, hugging the Yellow Cat to try and stop her from escaping. It is hinted in Ottoline's parent's letter that the Bear lives with Ottoline and Mr Munroe after being found. The Bear is not like a stereotypical bear, and he is actually quite nice. He lived in the laundry room and stole clothes from other people. I did like the fact that the foxes could live in such a small and tiny space. It was great fun to see how they decorated, how the inside looked. Like a miniature house.

Seuranaan hänellä on Mauri-herra, Pieni, karvainen norjalainen suo-otus.

And when Mr Munroe goes suddenly missing, she will journey over, under and on top of the sea to find her hairy best friend, solving that mystery too! It's a short, fun story with neat little references to the Beatles for the adults. Ottoline lives in an apartment in the Pepperpot Building. Her parents are explorers and rarely home, communicating with Ottoline by post card. (remember them?). Her constant companion is Mr. Munroe, a friendly troll. Their parents found Mr. Munroe during one of their trips to Norway. Mr Munroe is Ottoline's friend and is from a bog in Norway. He is a little creature with long, straight hair that Ottoline likes to brush. It is also hinted that Mr Munroe also has a diploma from Who R U. [4] In the book, he disguises himself as a dog named Bimby Bottlenose II, Emperor of Heligoland, Pedigree Norwegian Lapdog (to which they called him Nosey). He draws a map of Apartment 243, for Ottoline to catch the Yellow Cat while trying to steal the money from Ottoline's apartment. Mr Munroe was found by Ottoline's parents in Norway and taken in. He was given a coat and a pair of sunglasses by Ottoline's parents. Mr Munroe lived with Ottoline since she was a baby and they were best friends ever since.

Author/Illustrator

In this book Mr. Munroe seems sad and everywhere he looks he sees reminders of Norway. Ottoline is trying to plan a vacation with Mr. Munroe and she is kind of oblivious to Mr. Munroe's situation. She is surprised one day to find he has disappeared, leaving a note simply stating Norway. Thus begins her fun journey, accompanied by the Canadian bear who spends the winter sorting clothes in the basement laundry room.
