Review:
James Sage and Russell Ayto's Fat Cat is a quirky and humorous tale, detailing Farmer Bluster and Farmer Big's inept attempts to rid their fields of an infestation of very cheeky mice. The farmers compete with each other to build a series of increasingly outlandish Heath Robinson-type contraptions, much to the mice's amusement. However, none of them have reckoned on their neighbour, Farmer Smarts' simpler and more effective solution-Fat Cat, "a cat with attitude". And the reason behind the champion mouser's ample girth is revealed towards the end.
Review:
Ayto's imaginative illustrations are highly detailed, including lots of lively dialogue between the characters. The farmers' bizarre inventions will especially appeal to young readers who love mechanical drawings and gadgetry. Ages 4-7. --Alison Drury.
'[told] with great penmanship and comedy...' -- Sunday Times
