The latest book in the Tower Bridge Cat series was recently released – the Tower Bridge Cat & The Baby Whale. We were sent both this book and the previous book in the series to review and to celebrate this publication.
The Tower Bridge Cat
About The Book – It is the Queen’s birthday and all the crowds are gathering at Tower Bridge. All of a sudden Bella the Tower Bridge Cat notices something is WRONG a bus is coming over the opening Bridge! Can she save the day? Follow the exploits of the Tower Bridge Cat in this exciting storybook inspired by the true story of a London bus jumping over the Bridge in 1952.
Our Review – Jack really enjoyed reading this book and learning all about the Tower Bridge Cat, Bella. The story was really interesting and the characters were great too. As a parent, I really like the illustrations – I think they are well designed and Bella the cat has such a cheeky little face!
These are great books for kids around 5-10 years of age – it is easy to see why this book is the winner of The Best Children’s Publication – A.C.E. Product Awards 2019!

The Tower Bridge Cat & The Baby Whale
About The Book – A baby whale is stuck under Tower Bridge and a giant ship is coming up the river that will squash him if Bella The Tower Bridge Cat doesn’t rescue him with the help of her pilot friend, Maya The Flyer!
Our Review – This is a wonderful sequel to the first book and Jack really enjoyed it. Just like the previous book, it has such fabulous illustrations, great characters and a really interesting story. I love that the stories revolve around a real life landmark such as Tower Bridge which children can easily identify and visit themselves.

We really liked these books and they make a valuable addition to our bookshelves. I would love to see more in the series!
What a lovely book! The illustrations are fantastic and it’s a lovely book for a child to read, especially if they are visiting London to see Tower bridge.
I’m so glad you enjoyed the book Lyndsey – and Steve’s illustrations are great aren’t they! I am glad the books encourage families to visit Tower Bridge too (I as a big a s fan as Bella is!)
What a beautifully illustrated book, you can see how it would appeal to kids.Have you taken the kids to see Tower Bridge?
How lovely are these books. I love the illustrations featuring the London Landmarks.
Thank you for your comment on Rebecca’s great review. I’m so glad you love the books! Tee Dobinson (author).

What a fab book! A great way to get kids involved in the London Landmarks from the comfort of their own home x
Lovely book I like the illustrations in it . He looks like he’s enjoying it
I haven’t read the book but I have been to Tower Bridge so many times and love it! Have you taken your children to Tower Bridge?
Anything which has a cat in it and a cat saving the day is a winner in my book. Love the colourful illustrations x
Thanks for the information. Reading is an important skill we want children to learn. Therefore books which are of interest to them are also important. London, the Capital. The Queen, our Sovereign. Animals. These books have a variety of aspects which interest our children.
I am sure both my children would love getting a copy of this book especially since we have a trip to London planned. Great story and illustrations.
I love this, so good at teaching kids about the UK as part of a fun story. The illustrations are fabulous
Such beautiful illustrations makes me want to start illustrating again
My nephew loves cats so I might have to get this for him he’ll love it!
