Big Cat is a wild excursion into a story about a very large cat. In some ways, he might remind young readers of Clifford the dog because of his immense size.
Being a grandfather of five girls, ages 1 - 7, I can identify with what might happen if I couldn't find my glasses. Such is the fun that develops when the grandma in this story loses hers.
Yes, Isobel's grandma has lost her glasses and she can't see a thing without them. While Isobel and Gran are in the garden searching for the glasses, they come across a cat. A very big cat. A very big and friendly cat. The big cat moves in with them, much to the disgust of all gran's other cats. He might be good fun, but he takes up lots of space and eats every scrap of food. Eventually the new cat's mom and dad turn up, looking for their missing son. And they just happen to have found gran's glasses too. The tiger family are delighted to be reunited--and gran now sees that she's been sharing her house with... a tiger!
