Overview
Meet Toto, a small but fearless ninja cat with big-city instincts, in this action-packed four-book paperback collection from bestselling author and broadcaster Dermot O'Leary. Set among the rooftops and back streets of London, each story pairs Toto and her brother Silver with a fresh caper to crack, from a runaway zoo snake to a citywide cheese heist. Illustrated throughout by Nick East, the books blend fast-paced plots, gentle humor, and warm animal friendships, making them an ideal bridge for kids moving from picture books into their first real chapter-book series.

About the Books
The Toto the Ninja Cat series follows Toto, a nearly blind but supremely skilled feline trained by a ninja cat-master back in Italy, who now lives with her brother Silver in a lively London townhouse. Across four separate mysteries, Toto relies on her heightened senses, quick thinking, and loyal circle of friends to untangle mischief that ranges from an escaped king cobra to a missing jewel. Dermot O'Leary brings a light, comic touch to each plot, keeping the stakes kid-friendly while still delivering real tension and clever twists. Nick East's black-and-white illustrations appear throughout every book, breaking up the text and helping newly independent readers stay oriented in the story without feeling overwhelmed by dense paragraphs. Each adventure is a complete, self-contained caper, so children can read the four books in any order, though following the numbered sequence lets young readers watch Toto's confidence and skills grow book by book. The tone throughout stays playful and reassuring: villains are more bumbling than frightening, problems get solved through teamwork rather than violence, and every story wraps up with a satisfying, feel-good resolution. Themes of courage, loyalty, and looking out for your neighborhood run through the whole set, giving parents plenty to talk about beyond the jokes, and making it a reliable, entertaining go-to series for home libraries and classroom shelves alike.
