| book description |
 Nick Sharratt's fabulously funny debut novel is now available in paperback. The Cat and the King tells the story of a gentle, unworldly King and his very clever cat, and is illustrated throughout in two colours with Nick’s irresistible wit and humour. The cat and the King must find a new home after their castle burns down in an Unfortunate Incident with a dragon. They choose Number 37 Castle Close, and the cat introduces the King to all sorts of new experiences, from washing-up to shopping. Then danger looms when the pesky, fire-breathing dragon makes its return. Nick Sharratt is the fabulously talented author and illustrator of bestselling hilarious picture books such as Ketchup on Your Cornflakes Don't Put Your Finger in the Jelly, Nellie Moo-cow, Kung-fu-cow this is Nick Sharratt's first chapter book EVER! illustrated throughout in two-colour easy to read text - perfect for children learning to read  PRAISE FOR THE CAT AND THE KING: ""A majestic treat"", Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week 2016 ""Nick Sharratt's debut novel is an entertaining mix of familiar experience and fairy-tale fantasy underscored by a thread of anarchic humour. This is a beautifully-presented storybook, in which the fabulous illustrations are as integral as the text, and will appeal to adults as well as independent readers."" - BookTrust  PRAISE FOR THE SECOND BOOK, NICE WORK FOR THE CAT AND THE KING In this second book about the long-suffering, loyal cat and the well-meaning but somewhat ineffectual King, there are plenty of laughs and brilliant illustrative detail (the department store is particularly lovely) from Nick Sharratt, whose recognisable illustration is such a favourite with children. A heavily illustrated short novel for early readers, it's a perfect book for younger ones that want something a bit longer than a picture book but still love silly humour and a great, well-written concept. - BookTrust
