Reviews

"[Rosen's] use of language is simple but effective, with more challening and interesting adjectives thrown in occasionally that lift the story, adding to its character. Nicola O'Byrne's accompanying illustrations and the design of the book all add to its reader-friendliness, as do the jokes and puzzle inside the end flaps" – English 4-11 Magazine
"An enjoyable and useful book to have in any primary classrooom as well as library" – School Librarian Journal, Vol. 65
"Children will love the devious Dread Cat and cheer when he finally gets his comeuppance!" – The School Run, Blog
"Suspenseful and tautly crafted. Filled with rhythm, wit and vigour, it reads well aloud, using repetition and alliteration to great effect" – Books for Keeps
"A rollickingly good cat-and-mouse chase that is face-paced and filled with tension" – Toppsta review
