Puss in Gumboots

Times are tough in the loveliest smallest rural town of all lovely small rural towns in Aotearoa. In fact the town is so small nobody quite knows where it is, but when people do accidentally drive through they can be heard to cry, “What a lovely small rural town, I wonder what it’s called?”, closely followed by, “I think we’re lost, check Google Maps.”

Old McDonald, the volunteer mayor, fireman, police chief, librarian, movie cinema usher, skate park supervisor and farmer is at his wits end. A mysterious representative from a mysterious company has been busy buying up all the local buildings on the main street and leaving them empty. It’s got so bad that Old McDonald is in danger of being the last lovely resident of the loveliest smallest ghost town in Aotearoa.

Just when he’s about to shut up shop and the farm for good a mysterious visitor arrives… a cat! But not just any cat, a walking, talking, tail tapping, feline with a beeline who also just happens to be wearing a pair of the most magical gumboots you have ever seen!

Can this fantastic ‘Puss In Gumboots’ help Old McDonald save the loveliest smallest rural town in Aotearoa and put it back on the Google Map even lovelier and perhaps slightly bigger than before?

A classic Kiwiana version of the famous ‘Puss In Boots’ tale, this hilarious and interactive adaptation will have your students (and teachers) laughing and thinking about the value of friendship, helping others in need, the importance of community and standing up for what you believe in.
