LeVad Al HaMarvad Cat on the Mat Board Book by Brian Wildsmith 2 years and up

A masterful book which manages in just seven vibrant pictures and thirty-seven words to tell the story of a territorial tabby cat who sits on a vermillion rug, guarding it with green-eyed jealousy. A succession of animal trespasses invades his space and erodes his feline nerves until he erupts like a firework of fur to despatch his unwanted guests and regain smiling dominion over his woven domain.

Brian Wildsmith is one of the most venerable figures in children's illustration today and celebrates over forty years of publishing with OUP - a truly remarkable achievement.
