The Panda, the Cat and the Dreadful Teddy: The enormously funny parody of Charlie Mackesy’s The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

Product Information

Hilarious book bought for a friend who loves pandas. A little disappointed that the book has scuffed corners on the spine and a dirty mark on the front of the book, especially as it's a gift I’ve been having bad days. Like really bad ones. Bumping into this book, I’m considering a proper bliss. I smiled, laughed and loved. This book defines “Feels like a warm hug”. So many quotes I loved and would love to share with everyone but unable to. Might share a separate post of favourites. Such dreamlike artistic illustrations, I’ve been swooning over! This is a book of nice illustrations and some words from which you will likely gain some sort of inspiration. Like: 'Just because you're struggling, it doesn't mean you're failing... But it might do. 'Nothing beats kindness,' said the cat. As a fan of the charming book that Magrs that is cheekily parodying, I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this, but the fabulous illustration on the cover immediately drew me in. I was won over straight away with the contrast of the childish doodles and the grown up content that blended perfectly. It’s delightfully uncouth and I loved it. If ever there was a time when we needed this book – it’s now. I can’t tell you how much I LOVED it. I’m buying it for EVERYONE!It’s beyond brilliant. It’s going to be a massive hit.’– Milly Johnson, author of The Teashop on the Corner

This title is supposed to be taken lightly and make you feel that it's okay to feel the negative range of emotions that you do. I loved the colour palette and the illustrations.💕Are you tired of cheerfully oblivious aspirational books? Do you feel a bit grumpy when someone won't let up on the positivity? Is the worst problem in your life a bleedin' optimist who just won't let you have time to process the general awfulness?

This is my first book by Paul Magrs for some time and I was glad to reacquaint myself with his razor sharp wit. It is delightfully illustrated by the author. At the end there is a photo of the real life Panda, Cat, and Teddy.

It’s lovely to see those moments between them where they show they’re really good friends underneath it all. That rings so true because we all have friends that we spar with or take the piss out of, but underneath there’s a deep bond. It’s those moments that show Magrs’ genius. It’s not just a simple spoof; this is a world we all know and deep down sometimes we’re all a bit like the Panda, aren’t we?

A horrible book. It might appeal to anyone who finds constant use of the F word amusing but in my opinion it is totally unnecessary and the book is about as amusing as having ones leg amputated A horrible book. It might appeal to anyone who finds constant use of the F word amusing but in my opinion it is totally unnecessary and the book is about as amusing as having ones leg amputatedDespite the cute cover and illustrations throughout, this is definitely intended for adults who can cope with strong language from panda bears. I think the whole point of making books is to make the world a better place. I am here to lighten your load just a little bit. And so is the cat. The cat’s quite nice. He can be a bit selfish sometimes, I suppose.” This is amongst other things a parody of that book and it is funny. If you have ever had a moment of irritation at some one else being tiresomely upbeat please give this book a read and Paul Magrs some money. I love it. Genuinely... Really appeals to my warped sense of humour.' - Gary Andrews, author of Finding Joy
