About the Book

The first children’s picture book from multi award-winning fiction writer Catherine Chidgey.
The story of a family drama told in rhyme and rhythm. Jiffy, the cat, has a very high opinion of his abilities as detective, when the father of the house announces he has lost a shoe.

‘I’ve got to go to work,’ he cried.
‘One shoe is one too few!
I have a left, I need a right –
the usual number’s two.’

Or maybe Jiffy knew the answer all along.
