Sweet Pea

Peanut Butter and Jeremy, a classic story of an overtly sweet cat befriending a bitter crow. I love this book, it is charming and silly. James Kochalka does some of his best work through cats. This is book was not written for children. I was appalled by another parent's warning, "Don't be fooled by the cute cat on the cover and get this book for your child." People who buy books for their kids based on the cover are just as bad as people who take six year olds to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (just because they think it's a kid's book). As a parent, I think it's shameful the way some people go on auto pilot then get offended by what their children are exposed to. Your JOB is to know what your kids are reading, watching, doing. That's your JOB. Anyway, sorry to everyone else. This book is great. It's light and refreshing and makes me happy to be alive.

I laughed, I cried, it moved me

Okay, so maybe I didn't cry but I did laugh! Following the adventures of the business cat peanut butter (or peanut bottom as she is refered to by Jeremy) and the very greedy and hat-obsessed cat is quite amuzing. This book is original and absurd and I love it on that level, but also because it's light and addicting. Highly recommended!

A crow with an attitude and a cat with a big heart

Here's a graphic novel that is a lot of fun and is appropriate for younger kids! Peanutbutter is a cat with a job--she often "works" at filing papers, sorting accounts and general office management for her "boss." Jeremy is a crow who lives outside Peanutbutter's house...er..."office"--he's mean and crude, but Peanutbutter calls him her best friend. Both are typical representations of the creatures they portray, but they also have their own personalities. The book is divided into several short stories, with Peanutbutter and Jeremy introducing each one. The black and white drawings are simple and expressive, and the text is easy to read and page design is easy to follow. Recommended especially for cat lovers!

fantastic

This is one book that made me very intensely happy. It's absolutely charming, and I'd reccomend it to anyone! The characters are perfect, the style is good, and it's widely establish that Kochalka really knows how to do comics. I'd love to see a sequel.

A great graphic novel for kids (and kid-at-hearts)

James Kochalka is one of those rare cartoonists whose stories resonate with all readers, regardless of age!
