Teaser and the Firecat is the fifth studio album by Cat Stevens, released in October 1971. It was recorded between July 1970 and March 1971, and features 10 songs, including the hits `Morning Has Broken`, `Moonshadow` and `Peace Train`. The album was a commercial success, surpassing the heights achieved by Stevens` previous album, Tea for the Tillerman, reaching both the UK and US top 3 and also spending fifteen weeks at the top of the Australian charts, becoming the biggest-selling album of the country in 1972 and winning Biggest Selling LP at the 1972 King of Pop Awards.[3] It also shares a title with a children`s book written and illustrated by Stevens, which focuses on the characters from the album cover.

Overview
Stevens wrote and illustrated a 1972 children`s book which features the titular characters from the album cover, top-hatted young Teaser and his pet, Firecat, who attempt to put the moon back in its place after it falls from the sky.[4] The book has been out of print and rare since the mid-1970s.

In 1977 an animated short narrated by comedian Spike Milligan featuring Teaser and his Firecat, as well as the hit `Moonshadow`, was released as a segment in Fantastic Animation Festival.

In November 2008, a deluxe edition was released featuring a second disc of demos and live recordings.

English keyboardist Rick Wakeman played piano on `Morning Has Broken` and English musician Linda Lewis contributed vocals on `How Can I Tell You`.

All tracks are written by Cat Stevens, except `Morning Has Broken` (traditional; arranged and adapted by Stevens with additional lyrics by Eleanor Farjeon).
