A playful pop-up book of purring pussycats!

A retelling of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, Pussy, King of the Pirates is a dizzyingly imaginative foray through world history, literature, and language itself.

Little Matey is a make-believe legend about a cat who is adopted by Blackbeard the Pirate to catch the rats on his ship, and who ends up living on Ocracoke Island in North Carolina. It is illustrated by the author. The story is based on historical fact, although no one knows if Blackbeard actually had a cat, or if its name was Little Matey. It is told from the cat's perspective. Ocracoke has been, for as long as anyone can remember, home to a large number of free-roaming feral cats. Where they originally came from is unknown, but the author imagines a scenario in which they came to the island on the ships of Blackbeard and another pirate. Little Matey and Grog, another pirate cat she meets at Ocracoke, are present when the battle at Teache's Hole takes place and Blackbeard is defeated. She and Grog stay on the island and begin a family--the supposed ancestors of the feral cats of Ocracoke today.

From comics master Peyo (The Smurfs, Benny Breakiron) comes Pussycat--a lovable, mischievous tuxedo cat who spends his time chasing after milk and snacks and framing other members of his family for his shenanigans. This cat isn't exactly the noble hunting type-- he'd rather play a game of kickball with the resident mouse than chase after him-- and most of the humor originates from his clever, yet often foolish ways of trying to get what he wants (e.g. milk and snacks). Originally published in Spirou magazine in France, this is a delightful collection of comics that can be enjoyed by all-ages.

Meet "Nice Kitty's" less-than-courageous crew and join in on a high-seas adventure with Captain Stumpy the Pirate Cat as he confronts his arch-rival, Fluff Bucket, with surprising results.

This collection of poetry, mostly humourous but sometimes thought-provoking, is an immensely enjoyable read, full of incongruous creatures and weird happenings. Appealing to children, it will also be enjoyed by parents and teachers, or indeed by anyone who loves words and poetry, and animals. Mike Jubb has collected together his poems for the first time into this anthology, and provided notes that will inspire would-be poets to have a go themselves.
