Wigglesbottom Primary: The Classroom Cat

Book Synopsis

Laugh-out-loud school-based fun in two-colour stories, perfect for encouraging independent reading!

Life at Wigglesbottom Primary is often lived on the edge. Is the Classroom Cat trying to tell them something! YES! Can eating a puddle crisp make you ill? YES! Can Class 2R cure PUDDLE-POX? Is Imaginary Margaret a bit of a prankster? YES! So what are Class 2R going to do about it all? HAVE A LOT OF FUN!

Three short stories in each book keep just confident readers engaged while lively two-colour illustrations bring these hilarious early readers to life and perfectly bridge the gap between picture books and chapter books.

Written by the bestselling, Blue Peter award-winning author Pamela Butchart and illustrated by Becka Moor.

Our Review Panel says...

The Classroom Cat is one in a series of books about Wigglesbottom Primary but it can also be read on its own. It contains three short stories about a class of Year 2 children who, it must be said, seemed remarkably familiar. Pamela Butchart is actually a secondary school teacher, but she must have visited one of my classrooms to create such accurate portraits of the children! Each short story is delightfully silly and bound to make you want to laugh at the implacable logic behind the children’s thinking.
