Keith and the KittenAbout Keith and the Kitten

Sensational new series, introducing pet rivals, Keith and Queenie, in this uproarious story by Elaine Bickell and Minky Stapleton

Keith is a tiny Chihuahua with a big attitude—he rules his house and his Mama’s heart. But his world is turned upside down when his Mama brings home Queenie, a fluffy kitten who steals all the attention. Determined to stay on top, Keith causes mischief, framing Queenie for his naughty deeds and making her life miserable. But when his antics backfire and he loses his cosy spot in bed, Keith learns that perhaps sharing might not be so bad after all. . .

A hilarious take on sibling rivalry, perfect for children who are adjusting to a new family member. Brilliantly illustrated by Minky Stapleton, readers will adore Keith the slightly unhinged Chihuahua and Queenie the sweet-but-not-so-sweet kitten, both of whom are full of personality and charm.

About the Author

Elaine Bickell was born and grew up in the UK. Her love of books led to her studying English Literature at Bristol University. After moving to New Zealand in 2005 she worked in advertising. Her first book with Scholastic, The Little Ghost Who Lost Her Boo! was the recipient of the 2018 Storylines Joy Cowley Award, a 2020 Storylines Notable Book Award, and went on to become a New York Times bestseller and spurned a sequel The Little Witch Who Lost Her Broom.

Elaine loves football, walking, world music, art, camping, cooking and boogie boarding, and lives in central Wellington, NZ, with her partner, three children and dog named Molly.

Minky Stapleton is a multi-faceted illustrator with a range of styles, all with a playful dash of humour. After many years of corporate life as a Creative Director in Johannesburg, she now follows her first love – illustration – and resides in Auckland. As well as illustrating a number of books for Scholastic, including Swapna Haddow’s soon-to-be-released graphic novel series The Terrible Trio (already sold into 16 countries!), Minky has written and illustrated Roo and Vladimir and Bubbles, the Zooting Tooting Manatee.
