From the publisher

Written by Cressida Cowell, creator of the bestselling How to train Your Dragon series and with beautiful illustrations by Mark Nicholas, winner of the Carmelite Prize, comes a lyrical fable of a curious kitten who ventures out for the first time. ‘One wild and windy night a stray cat called Tantrum O’Furrily and her three hungry kittens were dancing across the roof tops.’ Tantrum O’Furrily’s kittens are hungry and doubt that a story can ease a stray cat’s rumbling stomach. They soon learn that stories are powerful, and that if you’re courageous you might find a saucer of milk at the end of that story.
