In a daring heist, three bumbling robbers target a mansion, unaware of the two ingenious cats guarding it. As the robbers sneak in, the cats unleash a series of booby traps, turning the tables on the intruders. Will the robbers outsmart the feline defenders, or will the cats keep the treasure safe? This high-energy caper promises laughs and unexpected twists as the robbers' plans unravel in the most hilarious ways.

From the publisher

Get ready for fun and hilarity in this action-packed comedy caper - featuring three hapless robbers, two very clever cats, and one robbery gone wrong!

These robbers are masked and armed with their robbing list. They’re going to steal the loot from the big old house on the hill. Except they haven’t planned for the cats who live there. With booby traps ready, they’re going to stop the villains sneaking and creeping their way to the prized safe. Will the robbers get what they came for? Or will these two clever kitties foil their plan and keep the loot for themselves?

A funny, high-energy picture book with a fun surprise twist at the end, created by bestselling illustrator turned author, Russell Ayto.
