The Return of the Killer Cat

'Okay, okay. So slap my teensy little paws. I messed up - big time.'

Tuffy can't wait for Ellie and the family to go away on holiday. He and the gang plan to ignore the grumpy new cat-sitter, and run wild all night. But could that furry bundle, suddenly flying through the air, put a stop to all the fun?

Reviews

This clever book teaches children how to read the different meanings conveyed by words and pictures, and how to make sense of a story for themselves.

—— Anthony Browne , S Magazine, Sunday Express

The highly patterned red, orange and yellow graphics are as fresh and funny as they were in 1968 and will make 2-4s scream with laughter

—— The Times

The pictures tell an action packed story full of drama and surprise

—— Julia Eccleshere , Guardian

This marvellous, perfect, utterly simple book has achieved iconic status, a true classic

—— Carousel

All young children will enjoy the tale of Rosie the hen and her walk around the farm followed by a hungry but thankfully hapless fox

—— Sunday Express

A delightful tale from the celebrated author

—— Nursery Education

Tummy-wobbling humour

—— Mary Arrigan , Irish Examiner

This is a wonderful re-telling by Anthony Browne of the Goldilocks fairy tale, which Browne gives a modern setting and a contemporary twist . . . The story is beautifully presented with the Bear family's world drawn in bright colours while 'Goldilocks' inhabits a bleak inner city landscape. The ending turns our usual convictions on their head, however, as we are shown it is the grey city world that has the warmth of a real home

—— Reading Zone

The merging of the fairytale/streetscape ending is a masterstroke

—— Irish examiner

A thought provoking new take on the traditional story of Goldilocks . . . Anthony Browne leaves readers lots to think about

—— Julia Eccleshare , Lovereading4Kids.co.uk

Me and You is a wonderful example of the power of illustrations and how hey can play as important a role as words

—— Nursery Education

Anthony Browne offers a new perspective on an old tale

—— Jane Doonan , School Library Association
