Niblet & Ralph by Zachariah Ohora - ESSENTIAL

Niblet & Ralph by Zachariah Ohora, PICTURE BOOK Dial Books for Young Readers (Penguin), 2018. $18.

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Niblet and Ralph are best friends - they are cats who look almost the same, but they are very different. All day they talk on the phone together, but one day, Ralph found a way to visit Niblet - and Niblet scampered across the hall into Ralphs apartment. Because neither was home, they waited. But when their people came home, the children notice that there is something wrong - their cats aren't behaving normally. However, without knowing that the cats have traded places, how will they figure out what's wrong? 

What a fun story with a terrific premise! The illustrations are bright and interesting, and the story is well written. Kids will love this!
