In this hilarious illustrated adventure meet Mr. Puffball, a medium-size feline with a big dream! With amazing humor that appeals to both kids and adults as well as funny illustrations throughout the story, Mr. Puffball: Stunt Cat to the Stars is perfect for dreamers, movie buffs, and fans of Timmy Failure and Stick Dog.
He's a hero for today. Or possibly tomorrow. He's a cat. He's awesome. And . . . wait for it . . . he's going to Hollywood to become a famous movie star! Follow Mr. Puffball on his trip cross-country. (Look at all the postcards to Mom!) See him stumble upon Hobowood! (Not as glamorous as Hollywood, but full of beans.) Watch him land at last in Hollywood, where he meets a cast of thousands (or at least half a dozen) and catapults himself into the next best thing to being a famous movie star: working as a stunt cat to his movie star hero, El Gato!
"I couldn't resist buying this insane book!" -- Tom Angleburger, New York Times Bestselling author of the Origami Yoda series and Crankee Doodle "A gut-busting breakthrough in kitty litter-ature!" -- Alan Katz, author of The Day the Mustache Took Over "Emotions run high and dramatic moments are many, but Mr. Puffball's positive attitude and growing understanding that good friends are what matter most light up the pages." -- Publishers Weekly
