Bookroo's summary
Clara's cat, Jack, is missing, and as she waits by the cat door, a parade of unexpected visitors arrives instead. From a porcupine to a robot, each new arrival adds to the chaos. With each flap revealing a new surprise, Clara's simple wait turns into a whimsical adventure. Will Jack return, or will the party continue without him? Young readers will delight in the unexpected guests and the fun that ensues in this playful lift-the-flap tale.
From the publisher
Celebrated children’s author Allan Ahlberg is on the lookout for a cat - but gets a bit distracted - in this silly lift-the-flap book. Clara has a little cat, A tabby tom named Jack, And when he goes out for a walkShe waits till he comes back. Will the cat come back? Young readers follow Clara to the cat door to look - but each time they’re greeted by a different, decidedly unfeline creature, from a porcupine to a bear to a robot to, well, the Seven Dwarfs. And since they’re all inside anyway and have hung up their things, why not have a big party?
