Staying with the watery theme, Peter Bently has employed his trademark humour and mastery of rhyme once again to the fun-filled Cats Ahoy! Peter Bently lives in Totnes in South Devon with his wife Lucy and their two children, Theo and Tara.

Her stories explore serious/educational subjects, but vary in tone from comical to thought-provoking and often manifest a world embodying animals or non-human characters.

He has twice been shortlisted for the Book Trust Roald Dahl Funny Prize, which he won in 2011 with Cats Ahoy! It seems like the sort of thing cooked up by a parent trying to answer a child's question of why do dogs sniff each others bottoms and it's probably as good a response as any but without the question being posed it's not the best story to read. In the confusion most dogs grab the any bottom and scamper out…which is why you have such unusual bottoms today!Much, much later, in 2006, my brother-in-law told my son (coincidentally also aged ten) a very similar tale. The clever visual layout and amusing artwork from award winning illustrator Mei Matsuoka will bring smiles to children, dog lovers and art appreciators alike. As a parent, I thought it was gross and disgusting but my 7-year-old son thought it was hilarious (after I explained what it was supposed to be) and I guess that's the point of a children's book . With wonderful rhyming text, each and every word rolls off the tongue almost seamlessly and together with wacky illustrations of every shape of dog; small, large, fat and thin, you and your child can’t fail to be caught up in this rollicking read. Not only is it a wonderful rhyme, and a great comic story, it also works as one of the world's best Just So type of tales.
