Oh Monty! A picture book with one dastardly cat, one wronged hero, and two perfect cakes which come to a sticky end.
This is a book with a villain who will outrage children. Because don’t the good end happily and the bad unhappily? Not in this case – not Monty and Tiddles.
An ideal book for cat and cake fans, by author Susannah Lloyd and illustrator Nici Gregory.
With his oversized, ping-pong ball eyes and over-the-top acting, there’s something rather delicious about Monty’s absolute villainy … Gregory’s illustrations have a brilliant zany energy as the cats hurtle around the pages, clawing at cakes, plates and each other.
