Synopsis

Full of kitty chaos, feline festivities and laugh-out-loud catastrophes, this hilarious tale captures the magic and mayhem of a kitten's first Christmas.

One December morning, Tiddles the cat wakes to find an unexpected arrival towering over him. It's big, it's bushy, and it's draped in oh-so-tempting tinsel! The humans love their beautiful new Christmas tree, but one kitten is not so smitten. And when the tree's twinkly lights start to disrupt nap time, Tiddles must take matters into his own claws, once and for all . . .

Join Tiddles as he faces his biggest (and sparkliest) adversary yet: the Christmas tree!

When Tiddles the cat awakes from a sleep, he is horrified to discover that he has managed to nap through the appearance of a tree in his living room. Puzzled by the fact that his humans seem to like this tree, Tiddles decides to investigate . . .

Anyone who has had a cat will be familiar with the feline frolics in Meowy Christmas! as Tiddles causes plenty of kitty chaos. Lively, action-packed illustrations offer plenty of visual humour as Tiddles explores the tree in the most cat-like way, his insatiable cat-curiosity leading him into one pickle after another.

The text offers a cat's-eye view of what's going on, giving children even more to giggle at as they recognise things which he doesn't - a jolly little red and white man, the shiny little balls and the winking and blinking little lights which are the final straw for Tiddles!

Adults and children will enjoy predicting what will happen next as the story ends with Tiddles set to 'investigate' another sparkly object, but the story is also perfect for helping little ones to understand the potential problems when mixing pets and festive decorations - and it might remind a few older ones, too!
