From the creator of Ninja Bunny comes a new story about a little girl and her beloved cat, who learn that friendship is the best compromise of all.
A little girl and her cat, Mr. Fluffernutter, are best friends. They do everything together, all the time. But what happens when Mia wants to have a tea party, and play dress-up, and go for a swim? And when Mr. Fluffernutter prefers to stare at the fish bowl? And stare at the fish bowl some more. . . . Can these two be so different—and still be best friends?
Here are two new characters to fall in love with—and a celebration of differences, compromise, and friendship.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Droll mixed-media art belies a perky narrative in Olson's story of a girl and her cat, best friends who don't always see eye to eye. "We love spending time together doing all of our favorite things," chirps narrator Mia, who has planned a morning filled with "tons of fun." On the agenda are a tea party (Mr. Fluffernutter, her cat, sits grumpily at the table wearing rouge and a wide-brimmed straw hat), playing dress-up (he cheerlessly sports a tiara, sunglasses, and fur boa), and swimming (submerged up to his chin, the scowling feline is kept afloat by a pair of swimmies). After the cat's patience wears out, and he stalks off to go stare at the goldfish bowl, Mia sniffs that they will each have more fun alone, which isn't the case, naturally. With small tweaks to her characters' facial expressions, Olson (the Ninja Bunny books) evokes a panoply of emotions to comical and poignant effect. Without getting didactic, she imparts a clear message about the benefits of compromising and respecting differences. Ages 3 7.
