'First chapter book'， for cat enthusiasts。 My son enjoyed this， though I felt after Fluff the Farting Fish， it was more mundane。 Though a story about a cat worried about his owners coming back does feed into a child's worries about being left alone。 And of course Rigatoni's fears about food are also very much on a child's mind a lot of the time。 But Rigatoni is an unusual cat - a pasta lover。 The author is clear at the start that cats should not be fed pasta。 I do worry that despite this， seeing 'First chapter book'， for cat enthusiasts。 My son enjoyed this， though I felt after Fluff the Farting Fish， it was more mundane。 Though a story about a cat worried about his owners coming back does feed into a child's worries about being left alone。 And of course Rigatoni's fears about food are also very much on a child's mind a lot of the time。 But Rigatoni is an unusual cat - a pasta lover。 The author is clear at the start that cats should not be fed pasta。 I do worry that despite this， seeing a cat being fed this throughout the story is a bit of a concern， but we as parents will just have to do our job and reiterate that this is 'just a story'。 Rigatoni is left with a cat-sitter when his owners go away （for an undisclosed period in his eyes）。 He doesn't know when they'll be back。 And George doesn't seem to know he only really likes eating pasta。 Not Good Mews cat food。 Eugh。 So he goes off in search of this delicacy himself， and may find a few new friends along the way。Pretty slim plot， it took us 4 bedtimes to get through in chapters。 I was expecting something a little more madcap I think， but my listener was perfectly happy （and I think learned a few new pasta names as well）。 The regular illustrations helped as well， pencil sketches of the rotund moggy and his mini-adventure。A safe choice， with a small problem that the protagonist bravely tries to solve himself， and wrapped up in a reassuring ending。For listeners aged 4-7。With thanks to Netgalley for providing a sample reading copy。 。。。more

A new book by Michael Rosen with illustrations by Tony Ross is always going to be a delightful experience and this latest collaboration just leaves you with a big grin on your face。 It’s a fun story as you would expect from a writer of Rosen’s calibre and the accompanying artwork is just joyous。 I dare anyone not to want to eat a bowl of pasta when that last page is turned！I received an early copy from the publishers via NetGalley in exchange for a review。
