I really hope that children who pick it up enjoy reading the adventures of our little Italian underdog (cat).' Have you seen Toto's other adventures?

So before I knew it I was writing about Toto and her brother Silver's nocturnal adventures around London. Like a lot of cat owners (or cat servants), we like to imagine our pets having secret lives when we're out or asleep. One of them, Toto, has been blind from birth, but we quickly realised she had ninja-like reactions.
With gentle themes of friendship, inclusivity and winning in the face of adversity, this is a hilarious must-read for all animal-loving kids! Dermot says: 'The idea for Toto first came to me when my wife and I rescued two stray cats from an olive grove in Italy. Can they find the giant snake, before it's too late? Ideal for reading aloud or for children to curl up with and read alone, the story features brilliant black and white illustrations throughout.
By day, Toto and Silver seem to be ordinary cats, but by night, they love to have adventures! One evening, news reaches Toto that a king cobra has escaped from London Zoo! Together with help from a very posh cat and two hungry tigers, Toto and Silver must investigate. Toto is almost totally blind, and learned to trust her senses from a ninja cat-master who taught her back in Italy where they were born. Meet Toto: she's no ordinary cat, and she can't wait to have an adventure with you!
