About the Book

Catvinkle is a sleek and satisfied housecat, whose hobbies include baby-shoe dancing and snoozing (but mainly snoozing). Ula is a damp and down-at-heel dalmatian whose owners have abandoned her, and she's too hungry to have any hobbies. Together they make an unlikely pair, but Catvinkle falls head over heels for Ula's delicious musky scent, and soon they are best friends. But trouble is on the horizon in the shape of Catvinkle's nemesis, Twinkiepaws... This is a brilliantly charming and beautifully illustrated story about a friendship that knows no bounds. Oh, and one last thing: Catvinkle can fly!

Review :
Featuring an inventive cast of characters, from cats and dogs to backgammon-playing llama, this quirky chapter book with black-and-white illustrations celebrates diversity and encourages inclusivity. At its core is the fundamental message that friendship should be extended to everyone, no matter who they are or where they come from This gentle tale manages to cover a lot of emotions - loss, belonging and jealousy to name a few A charming story of opposites that cannot resist the most fatal and vital attraction A great read for young animal lovers... lots of delicate pen-and-ink drawings throughout the text illustrated the story nicely Come to modern Amsterdam to meet the sleek and smug Catvinkle, a dancing housecat with oodles of attitude, and share the story of her friendship with Ula the Dalmatian who supports her most outrageous ideas Filled with the most amazing (and in some cases downright crazy) dog and cat characters you'll find outside The Aristocats... Awesome, original and a brilliant read Charming and whimsical... there are gentle lessons in here about empathy, bravery and friendship, but it's also simply a delightful and easy-to-read story with laugh-out-loud dialogue that doesn't talk down to its readers Delightful... quirky, humorous... a huge bonus are the simple, whimsical line-drawings by Laura Stitzel Whimsical and heart-warming... a gorgeous book guaranteed to give great joy Delightfully whimsical... the subtle themes of anti-racism, anti-bullying, acceptance, tolerance, friendship and loyalty are delivered in a wonderfully funny story This quirky chapter book with black-and-white illustrations celebrates diversity and encourages inclusivity
