PreS-Gr 1—In this holiday follow-up to Fuddles (S & S, 2011), the fat, mischievous, black-and-white cat ends up demolishing the Christmas feast and decorations. Once again he is thrown outdoors, this time into the snow. After several humorous misadventures trying to get back in, a dramatic and hilarious spread shows his barely controlled descent down the chimney with an OOMPH, to a warm bath… a soft towel… and a home-cooked meal. Vischer's expressive, full-color cartoon illustrations flow well with the text and will work well during storytime. Fuddles's fans will not be disappointed.—Maureen Wade, formerly at Los Angeles Public Library
Fat and spoiled as ever, Fuddles the cat is back (Fuddles, 2011) in this comical holiday sequel. Fuddles can’t help but investigate the many holiday decorations and treats that surround him. When he accidentally knocks over the Christmas tree, he bolts through an open door and finds himself locked out in the snow. A rowdy squirrel chase sends him tumbling down the chimney and back inside, safe with his family. The digitally rendered illustrations capture Fuddles’s frantic feline physicality, as well as his contented expressions. shara l. hardeson
