Pineapple loves being an only cat-and then Kiwi comes along. But despite the chaos and the annoyances, Pineapple soon realizes that a new kitten-a new friend-makes everything twice as fun. Original Cat, Copy Cat is a celebration of friendship and acceptance. It will be adored by fans of Wolfie the Bunny and Max the Brave. Pineapple the cat loves his comfortable life: that is, until he' s not the only cat in his house anymore. Now Pineapple' s entire routine is turned upside down. Worst of all, new kitten Kiwi copies everything Pineapple does. One day, Pineapple decides he' s had enough. But being an only cat isn' t the same anymore. With his old routine soured, Pineapple learns that having a friend makes everything better. And eventually, it' s hard to tell who' s the copy cat, after all. Sarah Kurpiel' s spare text, exuberant artwork, and expressive characters make for an irresistible picture book, one perfect for storytime sharing and animal lovers everywhere.
"Pineapple' s pre-Kiwi schedule included ample doses of eating, window-watching, sleeping, solitary play, and snuggling with his human. . . . Newly bonded, the pair eats, naps, and makes mischief together, and a final spread shows them sharing a cozy lap-nap. . . . A familiar story of house-bound pet rivalry, amiably resolved. " -- Kirkus Reviews
