Cat and Dumpling 4!

In September, a new Cat and Dumpling misadventure will be hitting the shelves - Cat and Dumpling: The Super-Duper Shop. While this is the fourth instalment in this ever-growing franchise, it was actually the first Cat and Dumpling story I came up with. It is loosely based on a childhood escapade, when I set up a little market stall outside my house and sold my mum’s china without her knowledge (she had to go and buy it back).

In The Super-Duper Shop, Cat returns from a trip to the supermarket bursting with inspiration. She decides to open her very own shop, complete with signs, displays and grand ideas. Dumpling is impressed and happily agrees to help. There's just one small problem: they have absolutely nothing to sell. As the pair scramble to find items, customers, and a purpose for their tabletop sale, things go from bad to worse, with funny mishaps along the way.
