book review

Mr. Wuffles! by David Wiesner

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book caught my attention as I was walking through the library today. The cat on the cover looks just like my Puck that I had to stop and look through the book. It was an absolutely wonderful picture book that made me smile the entire time that I stood there in the aisle "reading" it.

There are only a couple words in the entire book, spoken by Mr. Wuffles owner. The rest of the time it's all pictures that tell the story of a teeny-tiny alien space ship that lands inside Mr. Wuffle's home. Mr. Wuffles plays with the ship until the occupants are forced to evacuate to under a credenza, where they meet a colony of ants who treat Mr. Wuffles as a Giant Godlike being. Through cooperation and sharing of resources, the ants and other insects help the aliens get past Mr. Wuffles to reclaim their spaceship and escape back home.

All in all Mr. Wuffles looks and acts just like my cat and now I have a story to go with him staring at the "invisible people in the walls" as I call it.
