From the publisher
This fun and familiar tale of cat chase invites the reader to spot Cat in every scene as he hides from a persistent young girl named Suzy. Suzy is visiting Auntie today, and she wants to play with Cat. But where is he? Always just out of her reach, Suzy calls for him–she wants to play dress up, or dance together, or pretend they’re mommy and baby…but Cat doesn’t like the sound of that one bit! Will he change his mind at nap time, when Suzy is quiet and curled up in bed? “Packs an emotional punch” –Sunday Independent, Best Books of 2019 “Outstanding, don’t miss it” –Irish Independent
