Description

Witty, lively and full of fun, this cat-and-mouse tale from a former Children's Laureate is sure to delight young readers with clever twists and the satisfying defeat of one terrifying cat.

Once there was a very fierce cat. Not just fierce: totally, terrifyingly, stupendously fierce.

Everyone was afraid of this cat. Her name was Dread and everyone dreaded Dread Cat. But then Dread Cat started to run out of luck catching mice. She hadn't caught any for ages. So she announced that she was giving up chasing mice and promised to never again hunt another mouse. The war was over. But was it really?

Dread Cat is presented with high quality cream paper and a special easy to read font to ensure a smooth read for all.
