Description
Everybody says it is a dog's life, but Sparky and George both knew
that was just rubbish. Dogs were soooo silly, always running around
after their humans, doing what they were told, chasing things, and
BRINGING THEM BACK! Why on earth would you want to do that?
Whereas being a cat was the absolute very best.
Tasty treats, lots of nap's AND the whole wide world was just waiting
to be explored on the other side of the cat flap.
Full of adventure, ingenuous inventions, new friends, and some scary
encounters, join Sparky and George as they take their first steps on
an adventure that will change their lives forever.
Alan shares this exuberantly funny story of the imagined adventures of
his two cat's, Sparky and George, as they journey out through the cat
flap and into the big bad world.
With themes of friendship, resilience and bravery.
