Teach me the language of Cat:

the slow-motion blink, that crystal stare,

a tight-lipped purr and a wide-mouthed hiss.

Let me walk with a saunter, nose in the air

Full of wordplay and riddles, with poems that will make you laugh, tell you stories and make you think. Rachel Rooney's prize-winning debut poetry collection, first published in 2011, is now reissued by Otter-Barry books by popular demand, for a new generation of children.

"This is a re-issue of Rachel’s first and award-winning collection of poems and what a smasher it is, brilliantly inventive and inviting readers to look at the world and things in it, in an entirely fresh way… Altogether the book’s a testament to the power of language and its versatile nature; there’s something to please all tastes here. Quirky stylised drawings by Ellie Jenkins grace many of the pages."
