All my coworkers told me this book is laugh out loud funny and while I agree, I think their online content is the real winner. I thought it was cute and amusing and there is a lot of potential for library programming to go with the story!

If you have had your heart captivated by Dogman (which, full disclosure, I have not), treat yourself to the campy albeit more readable First Cat. Some good characters (more whale, plz) but lezbehonest you're mostly just going to give this to your Dogman fans so they will leave you alone for a bit.

The art style and dialogue gave me Captain Underpants/Dog Man kind of vibes. The style is cute, the plot and dialogue a little over the top (but perfect for young kids). Given the title, I was surprised to find said cat did not feel like the main character, but maybe that's because they can only meow. The talking characters definitely felt more prominent in the story. Many cute shenanigans and plot twists, and the running gag of every time the cat tries to eat pizza they get interrupted. A very quick read given how thick it was, and an entertaining brain break for the older readers.
