Look insideThe Lighthouse Keeper Series: The Lighthouse Keeper's Cat
One fat cat discovers there’s no place like home – especially when it’s a lighthouse. Charming fun from a classic picture book series. Hamish the lighthouse cat enjoys a rather lazy life. Trouble is, naughty mice are running wild all over the place! So Mr and Mrs Grinling decide to put Hamish on a diet. If he gets hungry enough, he’s sure to catch some mice. Hamish is horrified by the idea. In a big huff, he decides to run away. But how long until he starts to miss home? Well – if we lived in a lighthouse, we wouldn’t stay away for long.
