That cat is back!
He's back with a rat and a baseball bat.
And when the cat starts to chase the rat, around and around the mat, the trouble is only just beginning.
A rhyming story of mischief and mayhem that will delight everyone, especially beginner readers, accompanied by Terry Denton's energetically comic illustrations.
The story first appeared in The Cat on the Mat is Flat, which featured a collection of short stories. The original black and white illustrations are now in colour, and the story has been redesigned in a larger format.
