An unlikely furry friendship!
The perfect first chapter book series for young readers-charming stories with full colour illustrations. Meet Cat and Dumpling. They're as different as can be, like chalk and cheese. In this story, they meet for the very first time, and through the ups, downs, misunderstandings, and genius ideas, they become flatmates and best friends.The first in a charming new series by author Nicola Kent. Packed with beautiful full colour illustrations and a delightful story about best friends, Cat and Dumpling. Cat and Dumpling are best friends, but they're very different. Cat is an impulsive dreamer who loves to knit, and Dumpling is a cautious planner who loves gardening. In these chapter books for early readers, the pair's far-fetched schemes and conflicting ideas wreak warm-hearted slapstick havoc, but always with a happy ending and a reassertion that despite their differences Cat and Dumpling will always be the very best of friends. In Home Sweet Home, Cat and Dumpling meet for the very first time. They're both searching for the perfect home and have very different needs. Eventually they stumble across the perfect place-the only problem is, they both want the same flat! Can the pair survive as flatmates, or will their differences just be too much to overcome? Look out for the next book in the series: Cat and Dumpling: The Talent Show.
