10 REASONS I LOVE THIS BOOK ​

​1: It's my first book with Chinlun Lee, a truly wonderful Taiwanese artist and big-hearted animal lover.

2:  The Pawed Piper is also my first book with Maria, Dee and Tanya and the rest of the wonderful team at Walker Books. 

3: It's absolutely crammed with Chinlun's funny and beautifully observed cats -- on one spread you're invited to try and count all 67!

The Pawed Piper will be available from all the usual places you like to buy books, including your local independent book store.

MEANWHILE, Ernie Robinson has been missing since last June. I do hope the Pawed Piper helps him find his way home . . .

​4: It's dedicated to all the actual cats who appear in it.

5: . . . Chinlun even squeezed in the Robinson family cats, Ernie and Muesli. 

6: It's a smidge autobiographical -- like the girl in the book, I used to take my cat book to bed to cuddle until I had a cat of my own (emotional blackmail works, kids).

7: Chinlun based the family in the book on editor Maria, her husband and baby. 

8: The 'lost cat' endpapers are magnificent.

9: It's genuinely lovely to read aloud.
​
10: All the missing cats get home again -- who doesn't love a happy ending?
