‘Delighted to introduce my new picture book, The Cat Thief, illustrated by Liz Duthie, published by Little Pink Dog Books.’

Olive would love to own a pet cat but her plan to steal one doesn’t seem to be working. Olive has another idea. Will she finally find the cat of her dreams? A humorous picture book for young children up to eight years. The book includes some intertextuality which will amuse adults reading the book out loud. Cheeky, fun illustrations encapsulate Olive’s unfortunate efforts as a cat thief.

Gargoyles come in all shapes and forms. They live at the top of old buildings. They have a spout in their mouth which takes the rainwater away from the sides of the buildings so they don't get damaged.

But this gargoyle is bored. He wants to find a friendly garden to live in. One night, the moon beams down on Gargoyle.

‘Delighted to be an author represented by this agency.’
