A goofy new puppy rocks the world of a high-strung dog and a snarky cat in this hilarious graphic novel for early readers.Crackers is a rescue dog whos a bit on the nervous side, but pretty comfy at home with Butter, a very plump cat who--like all cats--is all about himself. The two pets have a good life: big backyard, nice couch, good eats, and an owner who goes to work every day so they can pretty much do what they want.Enter Peanut, a brand-new puppy with big floppy ears, unabashed energy, and no appreciation for the quiet life. The little dog is a chowhound who dips into everybodys food bowl. He drools, he chews up stuff, he doesnt get how stairs work, and hes afraid of the dark. Yowl! Not to mention hes hogging their owners lap. Even the squirrels in the yard are laughing at this goofy little canine.Butter and Crackers have had it! This puppy has to go! But when the backyard gate is left open (the cats idea, of course!) and Peanut wanders out and gets lost, the older animals remember what it was like to be alone--and lonely. Butter and Crackers to the rescue!Kids will laugh-out-loud at Paige Braddocks funny, endearing art and dialogue. (She also cleverly never shows "our human," the animals owner, as anything more than a pair of hands or unintelligble speech balloons.) This is a wonderful story about friendship and acceptance, with the funniest combination of pets to ever hit the page.
