Welcome to the Autumn 2020 Catalogue of Cicada
Books. We are a small, London-based publishing
company specialising in beautiful books for children. We
take an illustrator-led approach, and pride ourselves on
our eye for unusual ideas and visual styles.
In this catalogue you’ll find stories about a dog that
can’t control his tail, a kangaroo who is reluctant to
leave his mum’s pocket, and two neighbours with very
different approaches to life. We hope you like what
you see.
We have a brand new website that we’re very proud of,
so check us out on www.cicadabooks.co.uk – and don’t

THE PROBLEM WITH PIERRE 3+
C K SMOUHA AND SUZANNA HUBBARD
Alan and Bertram are next-door neighbours. They are also
best friends. They are also very different to one another.
Bertram is extremely neat, and Alan is wildly messy.
When Bertram gets a cat, called Pierre, he is dismayed
to find that Pierre prefers it at Alan’s house. Alan tries to
help his friend out – at his own expense.
The Problem With Pierre plays with the format of the
book, with the gutter acting as the dividing wall between
the two neighbours’ contrasting living rooms. A twist at
the end brings together form and content in a way that
is sure to delight readers young and old.
–
A fussy cat ruffles the feathers of two
neighbours who couldn’t be more different.

BARTHOLOMEW AND THE MORNING MONSTERS

SOPHIE BERGER AND RUAN VAN VLIET
Bartholomew struggles to get himself ready as the
monsters from last night’s dreams sabotage the most
simple of morning routines. A vast purple monster sits
on his chest, making it hard to get out of bed. Getting
dressed, brushing teeth, eating breakfast and even going
to the toilet all present challenges as the monsters mess
around at Bartholomew’s expense. Will Bartholomew’s
dad ever manage to get him out the door?

THE POCKET CHAOTIC

ZIGGY HANAOR AND DANIEL GRAY-BARNETT
A young kangaroo called Alexander lives in his mum,
Nancy’s pocket. Alexander loves his mum, but there’s one
thing she does that really drives him nuts. She is always
putting stuff in her pocket. Alexander tries to keep things
neat, but the more he tidies, the more stuff pours in, until
one day it all gets TOO MUCH!
Alexander moves out of the pouch into the room next to
his sister’s and actually it’s not as bad as he thought. The
final spread shows Nancy clearing out her pocket with a
wink. It was time for Alexander to go.
A humorous, heartwarming tale about the connection

Freddy is a skateboarding mouse, who lives with his friend,
Pete. Annabel is a science-loving elephant. Despite their
minor size differences, they become keen penpals. One
day, Freddy’s letters stop coming and Annabel must go to
the city to rescue him from the notorious Cheddar Gang.
Freddy and Pete then go to the Savannah, where they save
