Nick Sharratt's fabulously funny debut novel is now available
in paperback.
The Cat and the King tells the story of a gentle, unworldly
King and his very clever cat, and is illustrated throughout
in two colours with Nick’s irresistible
wit and humour.
The cat and the King must find a new home after their castle burns
down in an Unfortunate Incident with a dragon.
They choose Number 37 Castle Close, and the cat introduces the
King to all sorts of new experiences, from washing-up to shopping.
Then danger looms when the pesky, fire-breathing dragon makes
its return.
Nick Sharratt is the fabulously talented author and illustrator
of bestselling hilarious picture books such as
Ketchup on Your Cornflakes
Don't Put Your Finger in the Jelly, Nellie
Moo-cow, Kung-fu-cow
this is Nick Sharratt's first chapter book EVER!
illustrated throughout in two-colour
easy to read text - perfect for children learning to read
PRAISE FOR THE CAT AND THE KING:
"A majestic treat", Sunday Times
Children's Book of the Week 2016
"Nick Sharratt's debut novel is an entertaining mix of familiar
experience and fairy-tale fantasy underscored by a thread of
anarchic humour. This is a beautifully-presented storybook, in
which the fabulous illustrations are as integral as the text, and
will appeal to adults as well as independent readers." -
BookTrust
PRAISE FOR THE SECOND BOOK, NICE WORK FOR THE CAT
AND THE KING
In this second book about the long-suffering, loyal cat and
the well-meaning but somewhat ineffectual King, there are plenty
of laughs and brilliant illustrative detail (the department store
is particularly lovely) from Nick Sharratt, whose recognisable
illustration is such a favourite with children.
A heavily illustrated short novel for early readers, it's
a perfect book for younger ones that want something a bit longer
than a picture book but still love silly humour and a great, well-written
concept. - BookTrust
