Mr. Wuffles!
by David Wiesner

I thought I'd reviewed this book before, but I passed this in the library the other day and suddenly I wasn't sure if I had or not. So I quickly re-read it.

It was just as enjoyable the second time around. Mr. Wuffles appears to be a lazy kitty. He doesn't want to play with any of his toys. But he is actually trying to prevent tiny space aliens from taking over the world. Thank goodness for Mr. Wuffles!

This is an adorable and hilarious book that anyone who has bought a cat an expensive toy that isn't ever played with will instantly relate to. Or if you happen to be a space alien whose attempts at world domination were thwarted by a cat, you'll relate to it as well.

The book is told without words. When the bugs and aliens communicate, they do so with a series of dashes and symbols, and it's up to the reader to figure out the exact words, though the meaning is pretty clear because of the brilliant illustrations. Definitely a fun, quick read!
