Reviews

“A fine, funny, furry new addition to the pantheon of cat characters in books for kids. Welcome, Mr. Puffball!” - Nick Bruel, New York Times bestselling author of Bad Kitty

“Mr. Puffball deserves to be a star. He’s a feline with all the right feelings. He’s Cat-tastic!” - Charise Mericle Harper, creator of Fashion Kitty

“Cat-themed pop culture puns permeate the story, as do Lombardo’s scraggly b&w cartoons, which are a big part of its unflagging energy and humor. Emotions run high and dramatic moments are many, but Mr. Puffball’s positive attitude and growing understanding that good friends are what matter most light up the pages.” - Publishers Weekly
