## Description

Buy Toto the Ninja Cat and the Great Snake Escape: Book 1 1 by O’Leary, Dermot, East, Nick (ISBN: 9781444939453) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: A fun adventure story - I was really, really skeptical of this - I love Dermot O'Leary as a presenter but wasn't sure about how well he would be able to write children's books. And actually, I was pleased to be wrong - this is a great adventure story that is really well written. Toto is a cat from Italy who is almost blind, but also has incredible ninja skills that she puts to use with the help of her brother Silva. There's another fabulous character too called 'Catface' who acts as their guide around London but is clearly hiding a secret of his own. The plot is pacy - an escaped snake from the zoo - and the ending felt quite satisfying (not too predictable but rounded the story off well). There are great details in there too, for example with animals riding on tube trains alongside humans that are well complimented by detailed and interesting illustrations. I'd definitely read more in the series once they are written.
Review: Good story! - Lovely book! My son loves this book. He often reads non fiction so I bought this as a break from the norm for him and he really enjoys it. He says the story is interesting.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fun adventure story
*by L***K on 22 March 2018*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Puuuurrrfect for my seven-year-old cat lover
*by S***N on 1 June 2019*

This seemed like it would be a winner with my seven-year-old daughter and indeed it was! Toto and Silver are brother and sister, recently arrived from Italy and now homed in Camden. They are befriended by the amicable Catface, who offers to be their guide to London. It's only when they go out to explore that they discover a King Cobra has escaped from London Zoo and it's up to them to protect the animals of London. Luckily, despite being blind, Toto is secretly a ninja! This is a well written and beautifully illustrated book. My daughter is a competent reader for her age but there was some vocabulary to challenge her, which was a big bonus. The book has recognisable locations and its possible to imagine all this excitement is happening just out of sight of the humans. My daughter has asked if we can start the sequel immediately, so that's what we're off to do!
