What is Aristotle about?
Aristotle is a lively white kitten with a dangerous talent for finding trouble. When he goes to live with Bella Donna, a kind witch, she hopes he will become her proper witch’s cat. But Aristotle’s curiosity leads him into one perilous adventure after another, involving rooftops, trees, streams, trains, trucks and a fierce dog called Gripper. Cats have nine lives, but Aristotle soon discovers that even nine may not be enough to keep him safe.
