Learn how to deal with tricksy, pesty little sidekicks (otherwise known as siblings). Starring the world’s grumpiest, sassiest, most loveable cat . . . Mr Pusskins! He’s got cattitude.

Life for Pusskins is dreamy, until the day his owner Emily comes home with a Very Special Present . . . a kitten! Even though Little Whiskers is small and looks awfully angelic, she is not. She is a tiny package of peskiness. And the worst thing? It’s always Mr Pusskins who gets the blame! So how will Mr Pusskins deal with this naughty nuisance?

Mr Pusskins is a New York Times Bestselling character. Mr Pusskins won the Booktrust Early Years Award, and Mr Pusskins Best in Show won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize.
