Pippin and the Medicine cover

Once upon a time there was a little black and white cat called Pippin ... Pippin the cat is very cute and a bit daffy. He has white whiskers and amazing white eyebrows. He loves sleeping and hunting. And he has absolutely NO TABLE MANNERS. He also discovers that he's very good at hiding - after he gets sick and the vet gives him three disgusting medicines to take ... This funny and vibrant story is ideal for all. It is suitable for children and cat-lovers of all ages - particularly those who have struggled to get their own cat to swallow medicine! Discover a funny and vibrant tale of a cat who takes to hiding all over the house in order to avoid having to take his medicine - a situation which will be familiar to many cat owners! Based on a true story - Pippin the cat really did get sick and really did have to take three different sets of human medicine. He was saved by pioneering research undertaken by vets at the University of Edinburgh. Luckily, thanks to their expert advice, a brilliant local vet and the perseverance of his owner, his story has a happy ending and eventually he felt Much Better! The illustrations are a mixture of expressive charcoal, pencil and digital colour, and feature the real life cat.

'Pippin and the Medicine I believe will soon become a firm favourite for story time. With its inspiring tale of medical expertise it would be a useful aid in reassuring children who are due to have some medical treatment. Charming, entertaining and purrfect!' ~ Kraftireader 'Made me laugh out loud' ~ Goodreads reviewer 'A beautifully illustrated book for young children (or adult cat lovers). A good one for early readers or reading aloud with toddlers. Explains why it's important to take your yucky medicine so you can get better. I really loved it' ~ Goodreads reviewer
