Review: Mr. Wuffles!

Mr. Wuffles! by David Wiesner
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

2014 April 24

Wiesner is astounding. Mr. Wuffles! is hyper-realistic, just amazing to look at, so vivid on the page. Wow. And also, it's an amusing little story. But that cat! We have an enormous jellicle cat that resembles Wiesner's and I am in awe of every picture. Even if you hate picture books, even if cats give you hives, you should take ten minutes out of your life to look at these pictures.

This is part of my 365 Kids Books challenge. For an explanation see my review for 101 Amazing Facts about Australia You can see all the books on their own shelf.

Sad bit in spoiler which you can skip if you don't like that sort of thing.

(view spoiler)[Calder Alexander Eno, our jellicle mentioned before, died in January. He was enormous and very snuggly, and he had been ill for a year which was very sad-making. Everyone adored him. Such that we had a Zoom call so family members who couldn't be present due to COVID could say good-bye. He was an amazing cat. (hide spoiler)]

Mr. Wuffles! however is not sad at all so it was lovely to read it and stay in the happy memory place.
