Inside the World of Reza Shadey
Welcome to The Adventures of Reza Shadey, a charming series of short, laugh-out-loud bedtime stories about a mischievous Persian cat—perfect for adults to read aloud to children aged 4 and up.
Meet Reza Shadey, a magnificently fluffy Persian cat with the self-importance of a tiny emperor and a brain buzzing with grandiose, high-concept schemes. Blending modern satire with parodies of classic fables, these warmly comic tales follow Reza's attempts to become a "visionary", "guru", or "CEO", all while being patiently managed by his human "servant", Mrs Higgins.
Reza's ambitions — from cornering the ghost-busting market to launching a 'Purr-to-Power™' tech start-up — always backfire, derailed by his own hilarious arrogance or the chaotic-but-pure energy of his friends. Perfect for read-aloud bedtime fun and guaranteed giggles, the real magic is watching Reza's inevitable failure. He simply blames his "minions" or calls the catastrophe a "brilliant strategic test" (the famous 'Reza Rationalisation'). Dive in and learn the most important lesson of all: "Don't be such a Reza Shadey!".
