Description
Personifications, idioms, hyperboles, allusions, and much more lie ahead. But this isn’t a writing guide, it’s a picture book story about a little monster who oozes personality. The first pages leave us guessing, but kids will soon figure out, to their delight, that Moofy’s a cat. And what else could this furball of mischief be?
Fun is the order of the day, but an unobtrusive banner on each page lets interested readers know which figure of speech is being featured. This is a book a young reader and future writer can grow with.
Advance Praise
The cleverly over-the-top text utilizes a variety of literary devices to describe Moofy's colorful life and personality, organically and effectively introducing young children to concepts like metaphor, simile, alliteration, allusion, hyperbole, and rhyme. The protagonist is endearing, and their affectionate perspective renders Moofy's antics delightful to behold. The watercolor illustrations, which utilize a gentle pastel palette, perfectly complement the text...A delightful picture-book introduction to poetic devices. (glossary). - Kirkus Star
