Betty & Toff’s Seaside Adventure

Out Now!

Join Betty and Toff on their seaside adventure… but hold onto your deck chair!  Toff the Cat loves to explore among the gleaming rock pools but be warned!  What's in store - maybe more than wet paws!

  • "A delightful book, with heart and warmth, plus a great story... Something that most picture books fail to use these days... Im afraid that most are too clinical and pander to the needs of publishers now. I am a school reader and every child I have read this book has loved it so far! You must buy it!"

    Customer Review

  • "A wonderfully written children's book by Siân Hughes and illustrated by Elina Oplakanska. A brilliant plot about a cat called Toff and a burglar called Betty. Toff the cat replies to a mysterious wanted ad and an adventure begins. A fabulous rhyming book about friendship and honesty. A must have picture book for any classroom or home."

  • "Wow what a fantastically exciting and equally heart warming story. This book is packed with rich imagery far beyond the stunning illustrations on the pages. We immediately fell in love with Toff and enjoyed watching his bond develop with the enigmatic and elusive Betty. A huge 'thank you' from Ashley Manor Pre-Prep School to Siân for coming to share her book with us, engaging the children with every word and nuance. There was lots of new vocabulary to learn too, bonus!"

  • "What a lovely story about Toff the cat and Betty. We were so pleased to welcome Siân into our school to listen to her read to the children. All of them were completely engaged and loved the story. The book is completed with beautiful illustrations and has a wonderful story of adventure and warmth."

"'Cat Wanted' by Siân Hughes is a delightful rhyming story with the adorable Toff the cat who gets himself into a spot of bother when he unwittingly helps out the mysterious Betty.  Our EYFS and KS1 children thoroughly enjoyed their story time with Siân. The beautiful illustrations and engaging story props bought the story to life and they are looking forward to hearing about Toff's next big adventure."
