About Kitten Cuthbert

KITTEN CUTHBERT is simply unique, appealing to intelligent youngsters, and adults who can still feel the magic of childhood. Cuthbert and his cat friends, Sherbert and Buster, have amazing lives and lead children into a world of learning, ingenuity and fun.


In Kitten Cuthbert – Book One, we meet Cuthbert, a fine engineer and farmer who develops a very green attitude to life. Sherbert puts her computer skills to full effect and leads her people a merry dance. Buster wins over his physical and mental health issues to become an award-winning professor.


Like all the best children and educators, these cats never stop learning and love to uncover new stories – everything from knowing some Latin, to realising why cat’s eyes have been lifesavers.


Kitten Cuthbert – Book One is author Alan Wright’s first book for young people after a long career in broadcasting and writing novels and newspaper columns. The wonderful illustrations are by the amazingly talented Tom Burchell and the result is this lovely book.

In Kitten Cuthbert – Book Two, Cuthbert and his friends take an exciting railway journey and learn about the history of trains along the way.
