There are No Cats in This Book

by Viviane Schwarz

This delightfully bonkers picturebook is a sequel to Schwarz's earlier There Are Cats in This Book and this time a bunch of cats are desperate to break out of the book's pages. These crazy cats are very keen to go out and see the world, so implore the reader to help them wish themselves away! The wishing works and the cats vanish but don't worry - these feline friends do not stay away for very long.

 

 

Fold-out pages, a surprise pop-up spread and a couple of virtually blank pages (when the cats escape) make this a highly entertaining read. A very funny and visually appealing picturebook from the pen of one of Booktrust's 2011 Best New Illustrators

 

Publisher: Walker
