Oi, Cat! By Kes Gray and Jim Field (Hodder Children's Books)

We've heard all about where frogs love to sit, and dogs too - but it's surely got to be the turn of our feline friends?
Here's "Oi, Cat!" by dream team Kes Gray and Jim Field, back again for a third hilarious title in their animal-based stories.

Cat is fed up to the back teeth of sitting on Gnats. Wouldn't you be if those nasty buzzing bitey little insects kept feasting on your tenderest parts?

Cat wants changes, and wants them NOW so it's up to Frog and Dog to figure out a new resting place for this grumpy moggy.

It's a hilarious follow-up to "Oi, Frog!" and "Oi, Dog!" with tons of playful word fun and punnery, and a classic lift-up page panel surprise at the end (which of course we're not going to spoil!)

Owchies! Who would want to sit on a bunch of itchy gnats?!
Special mention has to go to the end papers of this one, once again just utterly purrrrfect!

Meow!!
