Meet Timo: a sleek black Egyptian cat who is absolutely certain that most of history was his idea.
In this second Timo adventure, his glowing collar drops him into Alexandria in 48 BC, straight onto a pile of royal carpets. One mouse, one very bad decision, and one tightly rolled rug later, Timo finds himself smuggled into the palace of Julius Caesar himself.
And he never will.
Timo and the Royal Carpet is a funny, beautifully illustrated history adventure for children aged 4 to 8. Told in Timo's wonderfully smug voice and drawn in a bold, classic comics-inspired style, it works two ways: a calm, one-line-per-page read-aloud for bedtime, and a richer panel-by-panel comic for newly independent readers who love spotting every visual joke.
Underneath the laughs is a quiet, lovely message for the children who notice what others miss: you don't have to be the loudest in the room to change everything. Timo solves problems sideways, hyper-focuses on what matters to him, and sees the world a little differently, and that's exactly what makes him special. (His enormous ego is just a bonus.)
Parents will love the layered humour and the real history hidden inside. Yes, Cleopatra really was smuggled to Caesar in 48 BC, though historians say it was a bedding sack, not a carpet. Timo, naturally, remembers it differently.
Perfect for fans of clever animal heroes, ancient Egypt, and funny picture books that hold up to being read again and again.
