he would not last.
Darryl would be banished.
It was only a matter of time.
So she waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Finally, the day arrived."
This will not be the first time you have read and enjoyed a story about interlopers! If you have pets, you may have experienced pretty much the same thing in your own home. You likely haven't heard it told with the charm and humor of the story told here.
Princess Puffybottom is leading the good life - a perfect, pampered princess of a cat with not a worry in her world. Her life is orderly, quiet, and mutually happy! Darryl's arrival puts a quick end to all that has happened before him. There is nothing endearing about anything that he does as far as the Princess is concerned. She knows his behaviors will get him in big trouble and her worries will soon be over.
Or, will they?
A visit to the vet leaves Darryl with a neck cone, and an uptick in the attention he is given. Puffybottom is having none of it, and does everything she can do to eliminate his presence in her family and home.
"She tried hypnosis.
She tried trickery.
She tried sabotage."
Nothing makes a difference; the princess gives in to losing her spot in the household hierarchy and hides herself under a chair. Only Darryl notices what is happening. Might this be the truce that is needed ... before the arrival of yet another interloper?
A charmer of a new take on this age-old dilemma for the first pet'. This fine tale will attract readers with its humor, its terrific characters, and a few surprises.
Telling details in Ms. Mueller's digitally created illustrations offer clues throughout, and the final spread offers a twist that will much appreciated by all. With Darryl by her side, Princess Puffybottom is sure to be less apprehensive this second time around.
