Product description

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? Nothing seems quite right. The cat is racking his brains trying to think of things the king is really good at. (Walking on red carpets. Waving. Making speeches.) But the cat also wants a dream career of his own. It’ll take lots of funny disasters – plus a visit from a helpful dragon – before the cat and the king both find their perfect jobs!

The gloriously funny follow-up to The Cat and the King

The second novel by best-loved illustrator Nick Sharratt

A feast of heartwarming fun, imagination and witty artwork

Nick’s picture books include Ketchup On Your Cornflakes

Nick Sharratt

Nick Sharratt needs little introduction with books going down a storm time and time again. He has written and illustrated many books for children, and also enjoys great success illustrating books for Jacqueline Wilson and Jeremy Strong.

He was born in 1962 and trained at the St Martin’s School of Art. Inspired by 1960s pop and graphic art, his work is instantly recognisable for its bold images and punchy colours. With lots of moving tabs, flaps to lift and other interactive features, as well as exciting wordplay and cheeky humour, Nick’s books let children discover all the different ways in which books and words can work.

He lives and works in Brighton, in a studio overlooking the sea.
