Great, fun Read!
This book delighted my 7yr old granddaughter and me. My granddaughter reads fine but will avoid it like covid19. I've been looking for books to encourage her reading. This is a perfect book for that. We read together. She was instantly engaged in the story. The rhyming seems to help, especially for kids like my granddaughter called Cat. She is plenty smart but gets bored easily. So it needs to engage her while still allowing her to sound out some new words and learn. For some reason a clever well thought out rhyming makes it more interesting for her. And this book does not talk down to young children. It has intelligent words to increase a child's vocabulary. It's a book with enough action to draw in boys. Yet my cat crazy, granddaughter called "Cat," was so captured by it's sweet and curiously brave Cat named Mabel, she couldn't wait for the next page. Pirates... sneaky, thieving pirates come to call on the farm! The illustrations are perfectly in tune with the story. The last page of illustrations even answers and asks a question or 2, about what the farmer was thinking in the morning. My granddaughter and I had some fun talking about what those pictures at the end meant the farmer was seeing and thinking. Very profeessional

This book is very cute, has good rhythm, and the pictures are quite nice. You could use it as a tool to discuss bravery and loyalty or good choices and bod choices. Or you could just take it as it is... A well-written short bedtime story. My sons enjoyed it very much. They are 5 and 3.

I thoroughly enjoyed my read through of this book. I may even have to buy a printed copy! The story is lyrical and amusing, the pictures and colors are enchanting. I can’t wait to read this to the children in my life! I can already hear the giggles and see the joy it will bring.

An adorable, comical story about a brave cat that saves the socks. My 9 year old enjoyed reading this with me even though it’s way below his reading level.

Children will love this book. Our unlikely hero is forced into the role of "sock protector" and learns that perceptions are her greatest ally. The rhythm and rhyming of the author's style also makes the story very listenable from beginning to end. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Mabel the Scaredy Cat
Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2014

This is a delightful addition to Mr. Tate's collection of whimsical, vibrant picture books. If you're not yet a fan, you need to sample some of his magical concoctions and drink some serious chuckling. How do you exist in this fast-moving world without a moment with your child and a picture book? The answer is you don't. So, get this book. Particularly enchanting was how Mr. Tate captured the nature of kitty cats so perfectly. What house cat can resist laundered socks, warm from the dryer? So, what does Mabel the cat do when confronted with socks scattered all around. Of course, she puts one on her head, gets her tail hung up on another and some around her paws. What follows from socks on Mabel is a funny and unexpected ending. What human child, or parent can resist a picture book like this? You should give in and get this one. It's pure fun, for you and your child.

I liked all the socks. I also liked the Pirates. Amazed how the tree grew socks of all colours and sizes. Good thing Pirates didn’t escape with the socks. I liked all the animals.

Mabel lives on a farm with the owner Farmer Bill. They have lots of fruit, vegetables as well as animals on the farm but the thing that grows the best are the magical trees. They grown magical socks in all different colours and patterns. One day a ship of pirates spot the magical trees and try and steal the trees. Clever Mabel is up in a tree guarding the precious sock trees and spots them. She tumbles, falls over the socks and lands up getting covered from head to tail in socks. This frightens off the pirates and they see her shadow and think she is some sort of monster. The story ends with Mabel curled up smiling and asleep after her unfortunate adventure.

This story is suitable for young children and the story rhymes in a fun way that will keep children engaged and the description of the socks and the pirates could introduce young children to new and exciting words to learn.

I found myself laughing at the story and the illustrations are very funny. The author is also the illustrator. I highly recommend this fun and entertaining book.
