Overview
Comedian and bestselling author Russell Kane is back with When Brian Met Terry – a hilarious and relatable story that will resonate with anyone who’s had to make room for someone new.
Terry the Burmese cat has it all. A loving family, a cosy home, and the undivided attention he believes he deserves. Life is comfortable for this pampered pet – until everything changes.
One day Dad arrives with Brian, an excitable chihuahua puppy with big eyes and even bigger energy. While the family fall instantly for Brian’s charms, Terry is less impressed. In fact, he is FURIOUS! Terry makes it clear that he won’t share his kingdom easily. As his tantrums become more and more dramatic, the family wonder if Brian and Terry will ever learn to get along.
When Brian Met Terry is perfect for any animal lover, but can also be read as a metaphor for sibling rivalry and the ups and downs of introducing a new baby to the family. At its heart, this funny and heartwarming picture book is about learning to get on with those whom you might dislike at first – or who dislike you. That and a very, VERY dramatic cat.
With Russell’s trademark wit and brilliantly characterful illustrations by Erica Salcedo, When Brian Met Terry combines laugh-out-loud moments with a reassuring message of acceptance. It’s perfect for reading aloud at bedtime or gifting to pet-loving families. Entertaining and reassuring in equal measure, this is a picture book children will want to return to again and again.
