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\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294397608309,"sku":"9780702339738","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780702339738.jpg?v=1762763348","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780702339738","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
