An unconventional and heart-warming look at the joys, challenges and adventures of pet ownership.
Follow our determined young heroine as she sets out to be a cat - because when you're a cat, you have all the time in the world to do what you want and you answer to no one! You must be ready to pounce at anything, or anyone, you can see in the dark, and you can come and go as you please - no questions asked. There's only one reason this young cat-owner may not be totally convinced by feline life...
From the inimitable and best-selling author-illustrator of Penguin Peril comes a zany new picture book full of mischief, cheeky humour and stylish verve!
