Lighthouses, lobster rolls, two silly scaredy-cats, and one uproarious seaside adventure!
Chowder and Crackers live in the quiet, coastal town of Kittybunkport, where they pass their time sitting in the sun, napping, scratching stuff, and of course, catching lobster. Until one day the town's lighthouse—rumored to be haunted—suddenly goes dark. When Chowder and Crackers are sent to fix the problem, will the two scaredy-cats be able to save Kittybunkport?
With playfully purrfect text by Scott Rothman and riotous illustrations by New York Times bestselling illustrator Zachariah OHora, Kittybunkport is a story young readers will want to visit again and again.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Feline pals Chowder and Crackers live the good life in Kittybunkport, an all-cat coastal town whose name paws playfully at a well-known Maine destination. There's just one hitch: the inhabitants are "terrified of the town's super-haunted lighthouse that showed the way home to cats who'd been out catching lobster all day," writes Rothman (Parfait, Not Parfait!). When the lighthouse's beacon ceases to shine, the kitties grow even more anxious, and Chowder and Crackers are voluntold to find out what's wrong. Shaking in their paws, they eventually discover that, haunted by the ghosts of eaten lobsters or no, the lighthouse is in need of a light-bulb change—an effort led by a friendly dog who hails, naturally, from Bark Harbor. With this mission accomplished, the rumors are put to rest and Chowder and Crackers are hailed as town heroes. What buoys this goofily plotted tale is snappy banter between the protagonists and digitally finished, signature-style illustrations by OHora (Whalesong), which pop with saturated colors, chunky shapes, and an expressive feline cast that could be kitted out of the L.L. Bean catalog. Ages 3–7.
