Description
Meet Pepper and Boo. They are two dogs who do not know much about cats. (Who does?) They wonder why the cat sleeps so much (in their beds!), licks itself so much, what the cat is thinking, and what makes the cat happy.
Luckily, the cat can explain. The cat knows a lot about being a cat. They know a cat will sleep anywhere (a box, a keyboard, a sink, and Boo's bed) and any time of day. They know what cats like and do not like to eat. They also know that although they are different, they're happy to have housemates like Pepper and Boo.
Charise Mericle Harper cleverly shifts point-of-view between the cat and two dogs, creating laugh-out-loud moments through her text and art that younger readers will want to return to again and again.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Charise Mericle Harper's Pepper & Boo: A Cat Surprise! is well-received for its muted digital art filled with comedic moments, appealing to fans of Mo Willems and Bob Shea. The story weaves in themes of sharing and resolving sibling rivalries through a sweet truce between Boo and the cat. The light, cheerful storytelling and unfussy illustrations imbue the characters with personality, making it an ideal companion for naptime.
