Cat Wanted

When Toff the cat replies to a mysterious ad in the paper, he unknowingly steps into a world of shadows, surprises and a priceless pearl that holds the key to an unexpected friendship.

A fabulous rhyming Picture Book written by Siân Hughes and beautifully illustrated by Elina Oplakanska.

  • "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!"
