Captain Whiskers - Author Jeremy Strong

Jack wants a pet more than anything, but all he has is his baby brother Freddie—who is loud, messy and not particularly cuddly. Everything changes when Jack meets a mysterious man in a top hat and his clever cat, Mrs Wilson. Suddenly, Jack’s life is full of cats… lots of cats. In the bath, in his backpack, in the cupboards—everywhere! But is having all the pets you ever dreamed of really the answer?

From the brilliant mind of Jeremy Strong, Captain Whiskers is a wildly funny, accessible chapter book that brings chaos, charm and cats galore to every page.
