Meowy Christmas! - by Panos Christodoulou (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

One cat, one tree, one Christmas catastrophe...

One December morning, Tiddles the cat wakes to find an unexpected arrival towering over him. It's big, it's bushy, and it's draped in oh-so-tempting tinsel! The humans love their beautiful new Christmas tree, but one kitten is not so smitten. And when the tree's twinkly lights start to disrupt nap time, Tiddles must take matters into his own claws, once and for all...

Join Tiddles as he faces his biggest (and sparkliest) adversary yet: the Christmas tree! Full of kitty chaos, feline festivities, and laugh-out-loud catastrophes, this hilarious tale captures the magic and mayhem of a kitten's first Christmas.
