Description
A very funny 'pets behaving badly' story that will appeal to those who love the outrageous antics of Aaron Blabey's Pig the Pug and Mothball wombat in Diary of a Wombat.
Napping on the sofa, one sunny afternoon,
I was very rudely woken by a slobbering buffoon.
'Say hello,' my humans said, 'to our newest family member.'
I think I must have fainted then. I really can't remember.
Boss Cat is so used to ruling the roost, she isn't impressed when her family bring home an adorable new puppy.
A canine intruder who needs to be shown who's boss.
From talented duo, Sarah Speedie and Tom Jellett, comes a very funny picture book about life's annoying challenges - as seen through the eyes of one exceptionally grumpy cat.
