Cat and the King

Nick Sharratt's 'Cat and the King' is a delightful chapter book about an unworldly King and his very clever cat. After their castle is destroyed by a dragon, they move to a regular house at Number 37 Castle Close. The story humorously follows the cat as she teaches the King about everyday tasks like washing-up and shopping, highlighting themes of adaptation, friendship, and resilience. The initial incident and the dragon's eventual return provide a gentle sense of adventure and overcoming challenges. It's perfect for children aged 4-11, offering both laugh-out-loud moments and heartwarming lessons.
