Mr. Wuffles!

Mr. Wuffles ignores every toy his people buy for him. You might think he’s just a lazy, uninterested cat, but you’d be wrong. Mr. Wuffles is not lazy, he’s just very picky—once he finds the right plaything, he’ll stalk, chase, leap, pounce, and bat it around.

Finally Mr. Wuffles has found the perfect toy and he’s ready to play… but it’s not really a toy at all. In fact, it’s something much more interesting—an alien spaceship piloted by small, green aliens!

When Mr. Wuffles plays a little too roughly with the tiny ship, the aliens must risk everything and venture into the cat’s territory to make emergency repairs. All seems lost until the aliens team up with some unlikely allies.

A nearly wordless book featuring a made-up alien language, Mr. Wuffles! is a 2014 Caldecott Honor book, written and illustrated by David Wiesner. Published by the Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Publishing Company.
