Learn how to love your best sassy self, in this Roald Dahl Funny Prize winning picture book. Starring the world’s grumpiest, sassiest, most loveable cat . . . Mr Pusskins! He’s got cattitude.

When Mr Pusskins spies the prize for Best-Looking Pet, he is smitten. He just has to get his paws on that trophy, and nothing, NOTHING is going to stand in his way . . . not even that mean, double-crossing poodle, Madame Fifi Fou-Fou. But, as Mr Pusskins discovers, it’s what’s on the inside that counts!

Mr Pusskins is a New York Times Bestselling character and winner of the Booktrust Early Years Award.
