Doodle Cat Wears a Cape

‘This exuberant, zany book full of giggles is also a warm-hearted story about friendship. Fans of the first Doodle Cat book, with its delightfully odd cast of characters, will love this new story just as much – its expressive illustration and unusual language is original and fun, and young readers will warm to the characters instantly.’
—Book Trust

‘Like all the Doodle Cat books, Doodle Cat Wears a Cape is a fun story bursting with colour and imagination, but here Doodle Cat wants more than ever to show kids that the coolest thing you can do is be kind and caring with your friends. It’s a lovely book which both my children have enjoyed reading. It’s perfect for sharing or a great picture book for those learning to read.’

‘Patrick’s adorable, perky red cat is the perfect powered, positive puss. Farrell’s simple, bold, and bright illustrations support and extend the cheeky, positive attitude ... Sure to brighten anyone’s day if they’re feeling down — or superpowerless.’
—Kirkus Reviews

‘With a tea towel for a cape, a striking red feline named Doodle Cat shows off ‘cool superpowers’ ... Bold, sketch-like illustrations accompany Doodle Cat’s childlike first-person narration, and goofy scenes of the happy companions suggest that friendship, replete with costume, is the ultimate superpower.’
—Publishers Weekly

‘A red cat donning a tea towel as a cape shows off his silly superhero abilities. When he stumbles upon a sad blue pangolin in Converse-style sneakers, Doodle Cat enacts his range of superpowers in an attempt to cheer him up. When all of his comical tricks are used up, he offers Pangolin a hug and a tea towel, to be worn as a cape. Pangolin quickly cheers up and shows off his own abilities. The illustrations switch from full-colour animals with generous white space, to black-and-white outlined animals featuring their coloured capes, to single-page spreads full of bold colour. The narrative line is simple and straightforward, making this picture book a playful choice for early readers who enjoy amusing stories.’
