Toto is no ordinary cat, and she’s ready for an adventure with you! From one of the UK’s best-loved broadcasters, purrfect for fans of The Aristocats, The Secret Life of Pets and Atticus Claw Breaks the Law. Toto and her brother Silver live a footloose, fancy-free life in a London townhouse. Almost totally blind, Toto learned to trust her other senses under the guidance of a ninja cat-master back in Italy, where she and Silver were born. By day, the two of them look like perfectly ordinary cats – but by night, adventure calls! One evening, word reaches Toto that a king cobra has broken loose from London Zoo. With help from an extremely posh cat and a pair of very hungry tigers, Toto and Silver set off to investigate. Can they track down the giant snake before it’s too late? Featuring brilliant black and white illustrations throughout, this is ideal for reading aloud or for children to curl up with alone, carrying gentle themes of friendship, inclusivity and triumphing over adversity – a hilarious must-read for any animal-loving kid! Dermot says: ‘The idea for Toto first came to me when my wife and I rescued two stray cats from an olive grove in Italy. One of them, Toto, has been blind from birth, but we quickly realised she had ninja-like reactions. Like a lot of cat owners (or cat servants), we like to imagine our pets having secret lives when we’re out or asleep. So before I knew it I was writing about Toto and her brother Silver’s nocturnal adventures around London. I really hope that children who pick it up enjoy reading the adventures of our little Italian underdog (cat).’ Have you seen Toto’s other adventures?
