Let Sleeping Cats Lie - Pet Poems

A hilarious collection of pet poems by wordplay wizard Brian Bilston. When you''ve got a bad case of the ''mews'' and are in desperate need of a ''pup''-lifting read, this book is the ''ulti-mutt'' remedy. Please don''t think me lazy, I''m not trying to slack - it''s just that I''m stuck, you see, under this cat. This collection of poems focuses on the hilarious happenings in the lives of our furry - and not so furry - friends. Stars include Wilf, the hypnotist Labracadabrador, a philosophically inclined goldfish penning a profound haiku, a hen named Barbara receiving an adoring tribute, and an ''octopussy'' cat that seems to have all its paws in plenty of odd little pies. The perfect gift for a dog person, cat person and every pet lover in between.
