Which of these fluffy feline friends is the BIGGEST cat in the book? Cats come in all shapes, colours, and sizes... but which of them is the biggest? Tiny kitten, Pippa, loves to explore slippers. Paisley the Persian cat loves cardboard boxes, and Dave the Devon Rex is DEFINITELY not related to the T. rex. Each of these cats is special in their own way, but only one of these lovable fluffballs can be the BIGGEST. Purr-fect for cat-lovers, this playful story is the second in the Biggest series, and features a gatefold surprise at the end. Written by award-winning author Ben Lerwill and illustrated by prizewinning artist Mark Chambers, this book will appeal to animal-lovers everywhere, and anyone who appreciates cats, no matter what size they are.
