The Cat's Whiskers

This story is set in Animal World – a topsy-turvy world where all the characters are animals. It is an exciting tale of adventure set in the northern city of Dogchester, where the city police force is led by Detective Chief Superintendent Nellie Trump, a lady elephant. DCS Trump is in charge of a tough, grizzled Detective Inspector, a cat named Tom Grouse, who is pictured on the front cover of this book.
