A comically observed and detailed picture book from one of the greats of children’s illustration.

Follow Tick-Tock through a noisy and eventful day – from waking up until bedtime. His encounters with squirrels and mice don’t end up quite as he hoped, but he always has a meal and a lap to return to every evening. Children will love joining in with the sounds that Tick Tock hears, and will identify with his routine and feelings.
