What is Out and about about?

What do cats get up to when their owners are away? Poppy goes shopping, Aggie enjoys a trip to the cinema, Oscar tries yoga and Luna even travels into space. With every page revealing another surprising adventure, this playful picture book imagines the secret lives of cats when no one is watching. Young readers will enjoy spotting the unusual characters, exploring the colourful illustrations and discovering how each cat spends its day doing something wonderfully unexpected.
