Mr. Wuffles

I am not a fan of wordless picture books. Not for any particular reason, other than I like words.

But this book is intriguing, and Flannery spent hours with it yesterday trying to figure out what was going on and loving the party the insects and the aliens have together.

Worth a look to say the least!

All Ages.


Product Details


From Amazon:

In a near wordless masterpiece that could only have been devised by David Wiesner, a cat named Mr. Wuffles doesn't care about toy mice or toy goldfish. He’s much more interested in playing with a little spaceship full of actual aliens—but the ship wasn't designed for this kind of rough treatment. Between motion sickness and damaged equipment, the aliens are in deep trouble.
When the space visitors dodge the cat and take shelter behind the radiator to repair the damage, they make a host of insect friends. The result? A humorous exploration of cooperation between aliens and insects, and of the universal nature of communication involving symbols, “cave” paintings, and gestures of friendship.
