Puisín na mBróg is the third book in Futa Fata’s series of picture books in verse. It comes in the wake of the award-winning An Slipéar Gloine and Na Trí Mhuicín. Slightly longer than its predecessors, Puisín na mBróg has the same wit and charm as we follow the story of Cóilín, whose father Maidhc the Miller has just retired. He leaves his mill to his eldest son, Micil, his horse to his middle son, Páidín, and to his youngest son, Cóilín, he leaves his…. cat! Cóilín is not too impressed. But Puisín na mBróg is no ordinary cat! He can talk… and he’s got big plans!
