Take a look inside

“Now, as reformed robbers, these two return for a second adventure – all in rhyme. While they are running their own busy cafe with yummy cakes, they learn that ‘Kitty Le Claw’, a clever cat burglar, is intent on robbing the local bank. Ruby is a thin little cat who turns up looking for work and turns out to be a star waitress. Or does she? This is a fun, longer story with lively illustrations full of dogs, tunnels and lots of cake. Niamh (aged three) enjoyed uncovering the plot. It kept her listening until the end.”
