Cats from many different countries may like to do all kinds of strange and exotic things like fly aeroplanes, or sing and dance, or even play the violin - but my cat, an ordinary round-the-house cat, likes to hide in boxes . . .

Very young children will love joining in with this fun rhyming story that is also just right for beginner readers. The lively illustrations by Hairy Maclary creator Lynley Dodd are sure to appeal to cat lovers of all ages.
