After deciding to guard Mrs. Plop's house for the day, Fluffy Bum becomes bored. He sees a distant figure, mistakes it for a horse, and rushes off to go for a ride. The story has the right balance of amusement, action, and possible danger. The cats behave like cats, but children will be able to relate to their actions in the story. The inclusion of the cats exploring their new garden and discovering new places to hide will be things children can relate to. Although written in a humorous manner, there are many inferences in the story that help children to develop their own opinions. It provides opportunities for them to recognise that how our behaviour influences others.
