For train lovers everywhere, comes a fabulously energetic adventure written by the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize 2011.
From the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize comes a pacy rhyming adventure, perfect for any child who loves trains.
When a naughty little mouse steals cheese from the station master, a battle between cat and mouse follows! But they put their differences aside when a big, red steam train comes tearing down the track straight towards them! Exquisitely illustrated, this cat and mouse chase is a truly memorable ride that will be good for many repeated trips.

Great rhyming story, it flowed brilliantly and didn't jar once. Would be great in KS1 classes as well as for younger children's bedtime reading. - Amazon Reviewer

It was the sort of book that you can read over and over and never get bored. - The Guardian
