The Cat on the Mat Is Flat
The Cat On The Mat Is Flat (2006) is a book similar to The Bad Book written by Andy Griffiths, who wrote the Just! series. The book is illustrated by Terry Denton, who has worked previously with Griffiths. The Cat On The Mat Is Flat uses larger fonts and pictures, and parodies the style of Dr. Seuss books, with the title being an obvious parody of The Cat in the Hat.
