Alas and alack! The Royal Money Box is nearly empty. The king must find employment, but what kind of job would be suitable for a king? Butcher? Baker? Candlestick Maker? It takes many comical disasters, and a surprisingly helpful visit from a dragon, before both the cat and the king find their perfect jobs. Spectacular two-color illustrations throughout. Beautiful gold foil cover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Praise for The Cat and the King:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA majestic treat, \"Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week 2016\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNick Sharratt's debut novel is an entertaining mix of familiar experience and fairy-tale fantasy underscored by a thread of anarchic humor. This is a beautifully presented storybook, in which the fabulous illustrations are as integral as the text, and will appeal to adults as well as independent readers. - BookTrust\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePraise for \"Nice Work for the Cat and the King\":\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this second book about the long-suffering, loyal cat and the well-meaning but somewhat ineffectual King, there are plenty of laughs and brilliant illustrative detail (the department store is particularly lovely) from Nick Sharratt, whose recognizable illustration is such a favorite with children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA heavily illustrated short novel for early readers, it's a perfect book for younger ones that want something a bit longer than a picture book but still love silly humor and a great, well-written concept. - BookTrust\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 264g\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 201 x 171 x 11 (mm)\\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781407178882\\n                            \\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nick Sharratt","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44098455732474,"sku":"9781407178882","price":4.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/4e873200d6344af1d6c167ac82e6c7af.jpg?v=1631587048","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/nice-work-for-the-cat-and-the-king","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
