Description
Rome's new emperor Catligula has become a power-crazed puss in this animated sequel to I Am Spartapuss. Excited when asked to interview for a position at the Imperial Palace, Spartapuss eagerly takes his friend's advice to look his best and attaches a shiny Fleagyptian coin to his collar--and unknowingly becomes a slave to the coin and its mate, worn by Catligula. Countless capers with his mystic friend Tefnut ensue as Spartapuss struggles to remove the coin and its curse--including a visit show more to a psychic mouse (the Moracle) and a fur-raising encounter with a giant albino snake--only to find that the coin has him playing a central part in Catligula's crazy schemes and paw-deep in devious palace business. show lessTags

My seven-year-old's selection from the school library. He read it to me, and the speed we got through it, it felt like we started in about 1974. The author has quite a nice style of writing, but I'm not sure what age range the book is really aimed at. By the time a child knows enough about ancient Roman/Egyptian/Greek history he or she is probably too old to be into books where all the characters are cats. I could be wrong there - my seven year old reckoned he really enjoyed it, but most of the puns sailed way over his head. Mine too in some cases. He did like the bit where the characters got turned into snake-poo, though. Wonder why that doesn't surprise me
