PS
According to a small girl, she and her cat Mr. Fluffernutter are best friends. The illustrations tell a different story as the cat, a solid square of stubbornness, becomes increasingly fed up. The highly decorative setting and page design (large black font, an extravagance of uppercase and exclamation points) carry the emotion. A lesson about allowing friends their autonomy perches lightly on this amusing story.
