TOO MANY CATS
WRITTEN BY MAURA FINN AND PUBLISHED BY AFFIRM PRESS 2022
“Too Many Cats” is a fun, rhyming picture book featuring a put-upon dog who is forced to live with WAY too many cats.

Too Many Cats

First there was just Big Dog. And then, one day, Little Dog arrived . . .

A beautiful and hilarious story about the ups and downs of welcoming a new family member.

Hello. I’m Neil. I’m a sea cucumber. It’s a bit strange that I’m the star of this book. Usually books are about the cool sea creatures.

And I’m boring, even for a sea cucumber.
Nothing exciting ever happens to me.
At least, it hasn’t before now …

With deadpan text and hilarious illustrations, this is a fabulous story about a very unlikely hero and one epic adventure.

Neil, the Amazing Sea Cucumber

A deliciously funny tale, with equally amusing illustrations, about being judged for what, rather than who, you are.

When Boris and his parents learn that Scotland is re-introducing wolves, they leave their mansion in Morovia for their Scottish homeland. But is Scotland ready for holidaying wolves? Especially such hungry ones? And why are certain people so unhappy to see them? From spooky dungeons to scheming developers, the Greycoats’ new adventure is full of surprising discoveries.

The Wolves of Greycoat Hall

Boris is attending the Institute of International Excellence, a fancy Swiss boarding school while his parents are staying with Great Aunt Orfilia. Although worried about being the only wolf, and having to navigate around the rude vice principal, he quickly makes friends, learns how to 'log in' and heli-board, and has plentiful supply of cake, Boris can’t shake the idea that something funny is going on . . .

Kevin doesn’t want a pat.
He doesn’t want a tickle.
And he definitely does NOT want a cuddle.
There’s absolutely no way this hilarious cat is going to
change his mind about that.
