"A stylish, funny picture book in zinging colours, with cleverly constructed rhyming text, limited vocabulary and action-packed pictures. A cat and a rat fight over a hat. A bat gets it. Great for those learning to read." - Nicolette Jones, The Sunday Times

"The text's pounding rhyme scheme will be picked up by toddlers in no time, and the knockabout humour, which owes something to Tom and Jerry cartoons, is a hoot." - James Lovegrove, Financial Times
