Product Description
Fluffykins is a
perfect cat. He wouldnât do anything naughty . . . would he? But whatâs this? Heâs knocked over the flowers, tangled up all the yarn, bent the blinds,
and scratched the sofa . . . and he
won't apologize. What a bad cat! Whatever will Fluffykins do next? This witty and perfectly paced story by award-winning author-illustrator Nicola OâByrne revels in all the mayhem of living with a bad cat.
Review
A guileless, off-site narrator futilely entreats Fluffykinsâgreen-eyed, ginger-furred, and utterly recalcitrantâto apologize for successive misdeeds. . . OâByrne ever so lightly anthropomorphizes her protagonistâs expressions, the catâs heavy-lidded glare modulated by tiny changes in mouth position that give the cat a distinctively evil lookâdramatically magnified by a view through the goldfish bowl on the final page. . . readers inclined to indulge feline mischief will chuckle at the extremes on display.
âKirkus Reviews\
With bold serifed text, crisp white backgrounds, and digital art reminiscent of colored pencils, OâByrne tells a simple, charming tale that rings true for anyone who cohabits with a cat. Giggles will abound as Fluffykins gleefully wreaks havoc, and the narratorâs admonishments and Fluffykinsâs mischievous antics (complete with an utterly feline scowl) will make this a sure favorite for group storytime. This will be a great pick for fans who appreciate the willful chaos of Shannonâs David or Mo Willemsâs Pigeon.
