Too Many Cats!

How many cats is too many cats? Little Lily loves her cat, Lenny, but thinks a house filled with cats would be ‘AMAZING’. She sets out to attract the neighbourhood cats therefore, cooking up a batch of irresistible (for felines) fishy treats. It works, and soon there are cats everywhere – on the curtains the carpets, in the cupboards… At this point, Lily realises she has too many cats and there’s added stress when she discovers their owners are looking for them. Fortunately, this resourceful young lady knows just how to send the cats back home.

The story is lots of fun, cleverly structured to build to its catastrophic climax before a resolution and final twist in the tale. Kate Sheehy’s compositions are perfectly managed too as the cats pour in. Lily’s problem-solving will intrigue youngsters and she and Lenny are proper characters. A lovely book to share not just with young cat lovers but anyone who appreciates chaos and the restitution of order.
