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." -

PRAISE FOR THE SECOND BOOK, 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
