Praise for Too Many Cats!

A joy-filled debut that is simply purr-feet for cat-lovers
- Irish Examiner

Sheehy’s silly story has a fairytale moral - “be careful what you wish for” - but it is the clowder of cats that young readers will really love this book for, as they follow the tabbies and tomcats across the pages. At our house, the young readers enjoyed naming them, and loved the Missing Posters that served as the book’s endpapers, where Sheehy matches her expressive sketches with funny monikers that evoke mischievous identities for the feline crew
- Irish Times

The story is lots of fun, cleverly structured to build to its catastrophic climax before a resolution and final twist in the tale … A lovely book to share
- Books for Keeps ‘Book of the Week’

Vibrant, lively contemporary illustrations highlight the ups and downs of cat ownership in a book that is, quite frankly, hilarious. Bright, brilliant and loads of fun (with a valuable, tongue-in-cheek lesson for cat lovers everywhere)
- Fallen Star Stories
