The Purr Factory is an upbeat, toe-tapping rock musical aimed at children of all ages.The Purr Factory is where all the purrs for the kittens graduating from Suzie Swishtail’s Academy for Kittens get produced. But disastrously, the purrs go missing just before graduation day. The kittens are distraught when they find out about it, as are Suzie Swishtail, Big Bottomed Bertha (the Academy chef) and all the teachers at The Academy.Vincent B Mouseander, the CEO of The Purr Factory is also beside himself with worry but he decides to hire Norris Norton Nackered, the greatest cat detective in all the world. Hopefully he will be able to discover who stole the missing purrs.When Norris Norton Nackered arrives, he is accompanied by his assistant who is, shock and horror, a dog!!!Humphrey Hound Dog, that is - a gentle soul with an astute eye for clues. Norris Norton Nackered is a little too puffed up with his own importance to worry about little things like clues and prefers instead to jump to conclusions.Thus, totally innocent characters, like Louis Leather (leader of The Kitty Cruncher motorcycle gang) and Purritney, (lead singer of The Kittycat Babes) become suspects for the theft. But eventually, Humphrey Hound Dog discovers who the culprit was and also discovers that he is not really a culprit at all. Find out if the purrs are returned to The Academy in time for graduation and there are celebrations all around.This is a detective story, and a love story combined. Other enchanting characters like Percy Purrfect - son of Vincent B Mouseander, Carlton Catwallader, chief accountant at The Purr Factory and Thomas Troutmaster – dispatch manager at The Purr Factory are all involved in the search for the missing purrs.The Purr Factory is a wonderful audio-book and picture book combined. An entertaining and educational tool for kids just learning to read. The Audio- book is available at CD Baby.com
