“Mister Mishkins Apothecary has been the most wonderful book for my son Charlie, age 8.
“Charlie suffers with Autism, ADHD, PDA and Dyslexia. Reading and being read too has always been very difficult for him as he struggles to maintain his attention for long. We have tried all sorts of books recommended by school and specialties without any notable success.
“When Mister Mishkins’ Apothecary was released, I thought it would be worth a try as it was about cats, an animal that Charlie really loves and seems to have an affinity with.
“Charlie has been no less than obsessed with this book and not only maintains his attention he actually requests to be read to on a daily basis, an absolute first. He is enthralled by the different characters (cats) stories and I think the structure of the book greatly helps him to maintain his focus as it’s like a series of short stories about each cat and his/her problems. I think Charlie could also relate to a lot of the problems the book discusses and it has helped him to understand some of his own feelings and emotions, another area that Charlie struggles with.
“We are greatly looking forward to the next book and continued adventures of Mister Mishkins Apothecary.”

“Our daughter has found reading difficult since starting school. Because of this she was a reluctant reader and was receiving additional literacy support. She was allowed to choose books to read in her one-on-one sessions so decided to take Mister Mishkins’ Apothecary to school, after receiving a copy of as a gift.
“She never usually responded with any enthusiasm when asked how her additional lessons were going so we were delighted at her response when we asked about Mr Mishkins. She enthusiastically retold stories of fantastic felines jumping out of mystical drawers in a magical apothecary and explained how marvellous cats listened to children and reassured about them their worries & fears. The enchanting text combined with gorgeous illustrations had really captured her imagination, even the literacy support teacher loved the book too!
“The Magical Mister Mishkins Series Book One has sparked a newfound interest in reading for our daughter and enabled her to move on from requiring additional literacy support. As parents we’re grateful the book has helped our daughter to achieve this and we’re delighted with her improved academic confidence.
“Mr Mishkins’ Apothecary is a wonderful book & we’re very much looking forward to reading Book Two together.”
