About this book
Little ones can’t help joining in with this fun, stylish and engaging picture book.

With minimal, catchy text, this story is an original, jolly tale of fun and friendship, with stylish, textured illustrations.
This is a brilliant story for reading out loud and little ones will love the cheeky cat’s funny antics.
A great way to engage very young children and foster a love of books and reading.
