Ferocious Fluffity: A Mighty Bite-y Class Pet by Erica S. Perl, illustrated by Henry Cole


Ferocious Fluffity: A Mighty Bite-y Class Pet is a rhyming cautionary tale about getting to know a pet before you interact with it. Just hearing the title of this new book by Erica S. Perl with illustrations by Henry Cole, and you know you are in for a good laugh. And, even though I knew what was coming, I still laughed out loud and had to put the book down for a minute when it happened.



What knocks Ferocious Fluffity out of the park are Perl's perfectly paced rhymes and Cole's expressively hilarious illustrations. Even though Mr. Drake, the teacher cautions the class, "Look -don't touch. She's too little. It's too much," the one morning he is late to school, the class can't wait to get their hands on Fluffity. They find out very quickly that Fluffity can't wait to get her teeth in them... Cole's illustrations of the ferocious hamster lunging, teeth bared, are fantastically funny. Once things settle down and Fluffity is back in her cage, the class figures out how to meet her needs (with more hilarious illustrations) and they even feel ready for a second class pet. I'll give you a clue - this pet's name (and species) rhymes with cake.
