Synopsis
Once there was a very fierce cat. Not just fierce: totally, terrifyingly, stupendously fierce. Everyone was afraid of this cat. Her name was Dread and everyone dreaded Dread Cat. But then Dread Cat started to run out of luck catching mice. She hadn't caught any for ages. So she announced that she was giving up chasing mice and promised to never again hunt another mouse. The war was over. But was it really? Witty, lively and full of fun, this cat-and-mouse tale from a former Children's Laureate is sure to delight young readers with clever twists and the satisfying defeat of one terrifying cat. High quality cream paper and a special easy to read font ensure a smooth read for all.

Newspapers & Magazines
"[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
