He's the toughest, cockiest cat in the neighbourhood. Nothing scares Scarface Claw, arch enemy of Hairy McClary. Except the sight of another mean and moody moggie - who turns out to be his own reflection. Having enjoyed the Schnitzel Von Krumm stories by the same author, we found the Scarface illustrations to be full of character; and the moral that bullies are really cowardy custards is a good one (in theory, at least). Worth a look.
