Product description
This wonderfully funny follow-up to Nick Sharratt’s acclaimed début novel, The Cat and the King, is a feast of fun and glorious illustration.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? It takes many comical disasters, and a surprisingly helpful visit from a dragon, before both cat and king find their perfect jobs.
- Spectacular two-colour illustrations throughout
- Beautiful gold foil cover
PRAISE FOR THE CAT AND THE KING : “A majestic treat”, Sunday Times Children’s Book of the Week 2016 “Nick Sharratt’s debut novel is an entertaining mix of familiar experience and fairy-tale fantasy underscored by a thread of anarchic humour. This is a beautifully-presented storybook, in which the fabulous illustrations are as integral as the text, and will appeal to adults as well as independent readers.” - BookTrust
PRAISE FOR NICE WORK FOR THE CAT AND THE KING In this second book about the long-suffering, loyal cat and the well-meaning but somewhat ineffectual King, there are plenty of laughs and brilliant illustrative detail (the department store is particularly lovely) from Nick Sharratt, whose recognisable illustration is such a favourite with children. A heavily illustrated short novel for early readers, it’s a perfect book for younger ones that want something a bit longer than a picture book but still love silly humour and a great, well-written concept. - BookTrust

Fantastic page turning story
This is a fantastic story for year 2 children (ages 5-6) to push their reading skills.
The illustrations in red and grey bring the words to life without being distracting.
Lovely story arc and page turning chapter ends.
You get to the end and want to know more, thankfully there's even a sequel which takes the story further with Nice Work for The Cat and The King!
