I was inspired by a thread that I've just read where you lovely mumsnetters found a childs book for the poster so thought I'd try myself, well here go's.
About 50 years ago I had a book, it was hard back and reversible, on one side the book was called Pretty the Pussy and if you turned the whole book over I think it was called Grand pa's invention. I loved this book and would love it for my grandson but I can't find any trace of it! Any one even heard of it?

Well.
Suffice it to say the Google images that popped for this one were a little different to my last search and I urge caution to anyone else searching "Pretty the pussy+grandpa" 😂

Was it anything like this

I've stayed Google Books, Abe Books and The Book Cave and nothing comes up with that exact title.

Grandpa's Inventions just brings up a modern picture book with a similar title.

Anything else to go on?

I did have a few undesirable things pop up when I searched! 😅 It was definitely Pretty The Pussy and it was a very colourful cover with a picture of a cat.
