Reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes, this is a triumph of a book, and we can’t wait for more adventures from this delightful duo.
Murray, the cat and Bun, the bunny, journey through the magic catflap to a land of Vikings where they are given the task to get rid of the trolls and find Eggrick, by the fearsome Harald the Hairy.
Hilariously the adorable little rabbit used to be a sticky bun, until Murray’s owner the wizard Fumblethumb mistakenly turned him into a bunny. He’s always messing things up! A fun filled feast of a read for newly independent readers who love a bit of interaction. We can’t shout about this book enough. You’ll want to read it and pore over the brilliant illustrations again and again and again.
Adventure lies beyond the cat flap!
Meet your favourite new duo: Murray and Bun!
Murray is a cat. Murray loves snoozing, fluffy blankets, and peace and quiet.
Bun is a bun. Bun loves… EVERYTHING!
And together they are unstoppable! SOMETIMES Murray’s enchanted cat flap leads to the garden… but mostly it leads to ADVENTURE! And when Murray and Bun travel through the cat flap and find themselves in a land of VIKINGS, they are given a VERY IMPORTANT MISSION: to travel to TROLL ISLAND and rescue Eggrik the Viking… if he hasn’t already been gobbled up by the trolls, that is.
Perfect for newly independent readers and fans of Bunny vs Monkey, Dog Man, Adventure Mice and Claude, this funny, exciting, and hugely loveable story – brilliantly illustrated throughout – will delight adventure-lovers young and old. After all, heroes come in all shapes and sizes!
Adam Stower is an award-winning author and illustrator of children’s books. He was born in England and grew up in a village at the edge of Lake Zurich after his family moved to Switzerland.
