Publisher Review

The book that made Rosen’s name, We’re Going On a Bear Hunt, gave its protagonists an adventurous spirit, wading through rivers and swishy-swashing through grass in pursuit of a mysterious other. His latest flips that narrative on its head, with a feline foreigner encroaching on someone else’s territory, sampling every seat in search of comfort and complaining about the volume of the TV. When the cat goes upstairs, the narrator imagines all sorts of boorish behaviour: constructing a vast marble run, indulging in a bubble bath, even planning an escape from the attic to space with a horde of robot cats – all imaginatively illustrated by Alex Willmore. — Lewis Huxley * The Observer * A great read aloud that will delight not only moggy lovers of all ages but anyone who likes to see children giving full rein to their imagination. — Jill R Bennett * Red Reading Hub *
