The owner of Tiddles and Monty has the most marvellous thing to show them . . .
‘An amusing tale of temptation, favouritism and mis-placed trust’
– Creative Steps magazine
'With his oversized, ping-pong ball eyes and over-the-top acting, there’s something rather delicious about Monty’s absolute villainy … Gregory’s illustrations have a brilliant zany energy as the cats hurtle around the pages, clawing at cakes, plates and each other'
– The Observer
'With hilarious images by Nici Gregory, this funny story is full of naughtiness! But behind the hilarity are also some great discussion points on fairness, favouritism, and taking the rap for something you haven’t done!'
– Discover Children's Books
'The genius of this lively, engaging picture book lies in the superbly clever telling of the story … The cats themselves are brought brilliantly to life by illustrator, Nici Gregory. These are cats with huge attitudes, characterful rather than cutesy, drawn with elegant lines as befits their pampered status and given completely hilarious facial expressions. The high-energy illustrations capture the drama of the storyline perfectly'
– Armadillo magazine
'Younger readers will utterly love hearing it … and I am super excited to enjoy this book all over again, with the little ones interacting as we go along.'
– Book Bound
'If you love a cat caper (or cake!) then this is the book for you! … The fantastic expressions on the cat's faces will make you laugh out loud'
– Mrs Brown's Book Box
