Nice work for the cat and the king - Nick Sharratt

This wonderfully funny follow-up to Nick Sharratt's acclaimed
dbut novel,The Cat and the King,
is a feast of fun and glorious illustration.

Alas and alack! The Royal Money Box is almost empty.

The king has to get a job - but what kind of job would be fit
for a king? Butcher? Baker? Candlestick Maker?

It takes many comical disasters, and a surprisingly helpful visit
from a dragon, before both cat and king find their perfect jobs.

• Spectacular two-colour illustrations throughout


• Beautiful gold foil cover

PRAISE FOR THE CAT AND THE KING:

"A majestic treat",Sunday Times
Children's Book of the Week 2016

"Nick Sharratt's debut novel is an entertaining mix of familiar
experience and fairy-tale fantasy underscored by a thread of
anarchic humour. This is a beautifully-presented storybook, in
which the fabulous illustrations are as integral as the text, and
will appeal to adults as well as independent readers." -

PRAISE FORNICE WORK FOR THE CAT AND THE KING

In this second book about the long-suffering, loyal cat and
the well-meaning but somewhat ineffectual King, there are plenty
of laughs and brilliant illustrative detail (the department store
is particularly lovely) from Nick Sharratt, whose recognisable
illustration is such a favourite with children.

A heavily illustrated short novel for early readers, it's
a perfect book for younger ones that want something a bit longer
than a picture book but still love silly humour and a great,
well-written concept. - BookTrust
