The Story of Tantrum O’Furrily

Written by Cressida Cowell, creator of the bestselling How to train Your Dragon series and with beautiful illustrations by Mark Nicholas, winner of the Carmelite Prize, comes a lyrical fable of a curious kitten who ventures out for the first time.

‘One wild and windy night a stray cat called Tantrum O’Furrily and her three hungry kittens were dancing across the roof tops.’

Tantrum O’Furrily’s kittens are hungry and doubt that a story can ease a stray cat’s rumbling stomach. They soon learn that stories are powerful, and that if you’re courageous you might find a saucer of milk at the end of that story.

Review

The latest from bestselling author Cressida Cowell is such a lip-smacking pleasure to read, so playfully told, that you may well find yourself wanting to swallow it whole. Newcomer Mark Nicholas provides the dark and smudgy illustrations (The Observer)

The muted colours of the illustrations are perfect for the text. The story is lovely and heart-warming, gentle and upbuilding. (Parents in Touch)

It’s a book about courage, having the temerity to explore and being brave enough to ‘write your own story’. Mark Nicholas’ award winning illustrations are suitably atmospheric. (Press and Journal UK)
