Where is the Cat?

Suzy’s auntie and her sleek white cat live a life of quiet contentment – delicious meals, peaceful silence, basking in the sun’s warmth and unrestricted freedom. That is until Auntie’s little niece, Suzy comes to call. A whirlwind of boundless energy, Suzy adores Cat and wants to play with and cuddle him all the time. This clashes hilariously with the cat’s introverted nature, sparking a playful game of hide-and-seek throughout Auntie’s house.

Drawing on her experiences, Eland has crafted a charming, fun story about a demanding, imaginative toddler and a very private cat. Her signature Pantone palette shines here with an extra-bright pink, making both the illustrations and setting pop to life. The white cat set against the negative space makes the whole hide-and-seek game work well for the young reader who will take joy in spotting the cat in increasingly comical hiding spaces.

This playful picturebook is Eland’s most interactive yet. It is brimming with humour and invites shared reading experiences. Adults and children will delight in searching for the elusive cat together. The heartwarming conclusion, where the cat finally succumbs to Suzy’s affection, is beautifully complemented by the whimsical endpapers showcasing the cat’s various hiding spots. A guaranteed source of giggles for readers young and old.
