And just a quick shout-out to the lovely, warm, illustrations by Luciana Betti. They're done in vibrant colours from nature and take their emotional cues from what's happening in the story. I particularly liked the image of Maggie oh, so carefully and determinedly, pulling the bag of cat biscuits through the door, ready to make away with them. The expression on her face is priceless!
If you want to see some lovely pictures of the real Maggie and other urban foxes who have visited Yara's garden over the years, you can look [https://urbanfoxtales.weebly.com|here]. Yara hints that she may tell another tale soon, this time from Maggie's point of view. I'd love to read it!
If you enjoyed the hilarious Black Cat and Tabby Cat as much you enjoyed Maggie, you might also enjoy [[Hate That Cat by Sharon Creech]], in which a fearsome black cat wins over a little boy who is missing his beloved dog. [[Forest Life and Woodland Creatures by DK]] will tell you all sorts of things about the wildlife and ecosystems of woods and forests. Grown-ups who love foxes might like to read [[Foxes Unearthed: A Story of Love and Loathing in Modern Britain by Lucy Jones]].
