About this book

Cat wants to learn how to cook something yummy in her nice red pot, so she heads off to the library to find an inspiring cookbook. However, when she gets there, she finds lots of other interesting books: one about a vampire bat, a lovely big book about dinosaurs, and one about a queen.

The library has so many brilliant books, but can she find the one that’s just right for her? Fortunately, Frog the librarian is there to help her out.

As well as that, there are lots of lovely flaps to explore in the book, with Scheffler’s trademark warm characters, cute details and a lovely community of friends who are excited to help Cat eat the yummy dinner she’s made. Perfect for young fans of Dear Zoo.
