Nayuleska's thoughts
Simon's cat is a hilarious cat who gets into lots of mischief. In this book, the cat's life is upturned by a new kitten. When I first saw the title I misread it and thought it said 'kitchen'. There are some scenes in the kitchen, but a lot are outside it. Every page made me laugh. Some of the jokes are a bit grim, which make them even funnier (yes my sense of humour can be dark which surprises some people). The jealousy between the two cats is accurately portrayed, and it's sweet how the kitten tries to copy the older cat in this 10/10 read.
For more info check out the Simon's Cat website.
