PICTURE BOOKS It’s Boring Being a Cat!

Adam Bestwick & Chris Cady Cat is bored of being a cat.

He’d like to be something different and exciting, like a lion, or a horse, or even a polar bear!

All of these options sound great until Dog bursts his bubble every time! Maybe being a cat isn’t so bad after all?

A humorous rhyming book with a fun twist.

A non rhyming text version is available for international translations.

Adam Bestwick & Chris Cady A fantastic follow up!

Dogs are really dull, according to Cat! They just lay in their smelly beds and chew their slobbery toys. Surely, dogs are good for nothing, aren’t they?

The duo are back in this hilarious story as Dog puts Cat right by telling him about all the amazing jobs that dogs do, from mountain rescue to guiding the blind – much to Cat’s annoyance!

PICTURE BOOKS

Olive

Rowena Blyth Meet Olive, the little elephant with a very big heart. She feels very small, but it’s hard not to, when you have very big friends!

Olive is often overlooked by the other animals, but is determined to get noticed. As she goes about her day, she discovers that, despite their large size, Hippo, Zebra, Giraffe and Lion all have a problem that Olive can solve. Maybe mighty actions can come from even the smallest packages!

The charming text is engaging, and the lesson about being yourself is valuable to young children who may be struggling with feeling very small themselves.

No one ever went near Granite High Boarding School set deep within its dark forest estate.
