From Hiawyn Oram and Gwen Millward comes a wild, read-aloud celebration of breaking the rules, taking a chance, and having the most brilliant of adventures.

Sophie absolutely adores Jimi and smothers him with treats. She thinks he has everything a cat could possibly desire. And Jimi does ... but he doesn’t ... because secretly Jimi longs to explore the bright and bustling world outside.

So when Sophie rushes out one day forgetting her keys, there’s only one thing for it: Jimi slips on his coat and skedaddles out of there, too!

Where will he go and who will he meet on those wild and exciting streets? And what on earth will Sophie say? Children and parents alike will rejoice in this funny, stylish and heart-warming celebration of freedom, adventure, friendship and love.

• A good message for parents – give the ones you love and look after the freedom to be themselves. Let them dance, let them play, let them venture out and make new friends! 
• Incredibly stylish, joyful, dynamic, EXUBERANT art – art which radiates the jazz of the dark alleys. 
• A book for cat-lovers and for city-dwellers, that should appeal particularly to fans of Bruce Ingman and John Burningham.
