Dread Cat - Author Michael Rosen

Dread Cat was once the most feared feline on the block — sneaky, sharp, and utterly unstoppable. But when her luck runs dry and no mouse falls for her tricks, she surprises everyone by announcing a truce. No more chasing mice, she says. A new era of peace begins. But can Dread Cat really be trusted?

Written by beloved former Children’s Laureate Michael Rosen, Dread Cat is a clever, funny, and suspenseful story that keeps young readers guessing to the very end. With a twist that delights and illustrations that bring the characters to life, this book is ideal for children developing reading confidence.
