Murray the Knight
by Adam Stower
Murray the Knight drops you right into a world where a grumpy cat named Murray and his excitable rabbit pal, Bun, are constantly zapped into unexpected adventures thanks to a very unreliable magic cat flap. This time, they land in a land of castles and jousting, suddenly tasked with rescuing a princess from a rather nasty knight. The book is an absolute delight, bustling with whimsical energy and a constant stream of chuckle-worthy moments. It feels like a lively cartoon unfolding on the page, with Adam Stower's illustrations adding so much to the humor and the feeling of a grand, silly quest. This is a perfect pick for young readers who love stories about reluctant heroes, unlikely friendships, and fantastical mishaps, all wrapped up in a wonderfully lighthearted package. You'll find yourself rooting for Murray and Bun from page one.
