Rigatoni the Pasta Cat
Rigatoni the cat is very disappointed when his owners go away and he stops getting pasta for tea. Can he find someone who will help?
Rigatoni is a pasta cat. He loves pasta, any kind of pasta: spaghetti, penne, fusilli, with pesto, in soup, in lasagne, any whichever way his owners, Ruth and Tina, will serve it.
Then one day Ruth and Tina go away and leave George in charge. And the pasta is replaced with yucky cat food. Can Rigatoni find someone who understands what he really wants to eat?

Reviews
From the iconic Michael Rosen and Tony Ross, here is a collection of black-and-white illustrated and super funny stories for children aged 5+. Each story has different characters and themes, but they are all equally funny and will help during the transitional phase from picture books to longer stories read independently. We think children will especially love these books’ characters, from genius bumblebees and farting fish to pasta-loving cats! If you love Humorous stories, this is the series for you, from two of our biggest and most treasured authors and illustrators, We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’s Michael Rosen and Horrid Henry books’s Tony Ross.
