From national treasure Michael Rosen and award-winning illustrator Alex Willmore comes a hilarious new picture book about a mischievous cat.

Our neighbour has a cat. We call it “Neighbour’s Cat”. Sometimes, he comes to our house … and he acts like he lives here! But what does he get up to when he’s out of sight upstairs? Does he play with our toys? Take a bubble bath? Or worse?!

A riotous romp of a picture book from former Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen, with laugh-out-loud illustrations from multi-award-winning illustrator Alex Willmore, guaranteed to delight animal-lovers everywhere.
