Synopses & Reviews
A fluffy, nap-loving cat goes on the (fur-raising!) outing of a lifetime in this funny and gorgeously illustrated adventure about finding your inner tough kitty.
Poopsie the cat spends her days licking her paws and rubbing her ears and looking fluffy, until the pushy narrator of this story pressures her to do something a little less boring. Adventure is waiting, after all! So off Poopsie goes, out the cat door, across the lawn, and... through a gate covered in Danger signs. Soon Poopsie is lost in a jungle full of menace, from a vine that's actually a snake to a crew of tigers to a river full of crocodiles! All the while the narrator keeps pushing her to keep going. Will fluffy little Poopsie make it out of the jungle in one piece?
Review
“Harrison has created a wonderfully engaging tale....Disarming comedy from start to finish, this suspenseful tale will have children screaming at Poopsie to ¬ignore anyone reading this aloud. Sublime.” School Library Journal (Starred Review)
Review
“Harrison's latest tale is laugh-out-loud funny and has an adorable protagonist….Poopsie isn't a talking cat, but her facial expressions speak volumes....Feline fun with a touch of clever metafiction.” Kirkus Reviews
Review
“Lush illustrations make the most of the inherently funny contrast of a princesslike cat in an untamed jungle….A Loony Tunes-esque romp”. Booklist
Review
“In a droll, gorgeously illustrated story, a pampered indoor cat is manipulated into a dangerous jungle adventure by a never-seen narrator who bears a striking — though invisible — resemblance to every Machiavellian older sibling ever.” Shelf Awareness
