PreS-Gr 2—Fuddles is a pampered, overweight house cat whose perfect world is turned upside down when his family brings home a new puppy. Puddles drools, whines, and annoys Fuddles to no end. Pushed to his limit, the indignant feline tells the interloper to "GET OUT OF HERE! THIS IS MY HOUSE." After that, Puddles keeps his distance. When Fuddles tries to pick a yummy avocado off a branch of a tree and ends up on top of the neighbor's doghouse, he sees his ninth and final life flash before his eyes. Puddles comes to his rescue, and Fuddles realizes that his rival is actually a good friend. The digitally rendered illustrations add humor and emotion to this tale about frenemies.
VERDICT An entertaining offering loaded with hilarious moments that will delight listeners in storytime and small groups. A great addition to the series.
