Buzz Sausage Wolf has a new neighbour - but OH NO, it's a CAT! Everyone knows, cats and dogs are NEVER friends. But maybe this strange Smelly Cat is different. . .  A hilariously silly full-colour illustrated story about making friends, ideal for newly independent readers moving on from picture books.
A warmly funny story for fans of Rabbit and Bear, large dollops of silliness and the occasional unexpected dog parp.
Praise for Buzz Sausage Wolf:'Buzz is a furry little heart-stealer on a mission: be loved, supply laughs, win you over. Mission accomplished.' - James Davis, author of Scarlet: Defender of the Universe
