Buzz Sausage Wolf and the Smelly Cat

Emma — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 00:00:00 +0000

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

Buzz is keen to win the love (and biscuits) of his New Family. He wants to be the perfect pet - but who is Pack Leader? Britney, the small but shouty one? Her brother who secretly gives Buzz snacks? Or Mum who holds The Lead? Should Buzz be silly Sausage or brave Wolf to impress them? Too much of either brings chaos!
