Description

A hilarious, rhyming adventure about a band of pirate cats! From Peter Bently and Jim Field - illustrator of the bestselling Oi Frog books. *Winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize* When Alfonso the cat hears there's a boat coming into harbour stuffed with tasty haddock, he hatches a plan. It's brave! It's bold! And it involves a ghost pirate ship, some rather gullible fishermen and cats... LOTS of cats. With a bouncy, rhyming story and fun-filled illustrations from the bestselling Jim Field, Cats Ahoy! is the perfect read-aloud treat.

Author Bio

Peter Bently lives in the writer-filled town of Totnes with his wife and a perfect ready-made audience of two young children. He enjoys visiting schools and sharing his writing. Inspired by living close to the sea, Peter's first book for Macmillan was the terrifically toothy THE SHARK IN THE DARK (978 0 230 70735 1). Staying with the watery theme, Peter has employed his trademark humour and mastery of rhyme once again to the fun-filled CATS AHOY! Jim Field is a lead-driven, pencil-pushing, 25-frames-per-second, Led Zeppelin fan. He is also a hugely talented illustrator and animation director whose previous clients have included Waterstones, Sainsbury's, Oxfam, The Independent, The Guardian, The FT, Channel 4, Virgin Mobile, Nokia, GQ, Haymarket and BAC. CATS AHOY! was Jim's first picture book, and his vibrant, energetic style and witty detail is sure to delight children and adults alike. Jim has since gone on to illustrate the hugely successful Oi! series with Kes Gray.
