Cat in a Flap

Shoo Rayner's latest paperback has all the verve and zany humour we've come to expect from him. It has been devoured and yet the flaps have taken the strain - thank you, Puffin. Cat's attempts to catch a mouse start, as all good plans do, with research through the available literature. However, the wily mice are one step ahead all along, for they, too, have read the book! With every plan foiled, Cat resorts to the last injunction: '6. If all else fails ... give up ... and make friends.' Bubble text, illustrations and flaps combine to make this a book which not only appeals but brings with it an unlikely but reassuring message.
