Nice Work For Cat & King
by Sharratt, Nick
Nice Work For Cat and King is a delightful odd-couple pairing that leans into the absurd and the endearing. The story follows a refined King and a clever, opportunistic Cat as they navigate a series of whimsical tasks that inevitably go sideways. The pace is snappy and light, relying on Sharratt’s signature visual wit to keep the energy high. It feels less like a traditional bedtime story and more like a collaborative game, where the humor comes from the friction between the King’s earnest planning and the Cat’s unpredictable instincts. This is perfect for readers who enjoy stories where the friendship is built on funny mishaps rather than grand moral lessons. If you want a book that encourages giggles and rewards close looking at the illustrations, this will quickly become a favorite in your rotation.
