The Editor from Nosy Crow Says: “This picture book is quite simply a career highlight for me! Em Lynas’s text is pure genius with its rollicking rhyme, repeated refrains and cumulative chaos, and Matt Hunt has brought the story to life in the most incredible way – think Oi Frog meets Tom and Jerry! We’re so excited to be publishing The Cat and the Rat and the Hat; it is, without a doubt, a story that will entertain many generations of children (and editors!) to come.”
