How to Read the Flubby Books

Penguin Random House lists six Flubby books but does not number them. The stories are fully episodic, so children may start with whichever everyday cat problem sounds funniest.

For parents

What Parents Should Know

Very short sentences, speech bubbles, and comic-like panels make these useful first independent reads for children who enjoy deadpan pet humor.

Flubby refuses directions and sometimes leaves his child exasperated, but the pair remain caring companions. Mild worries such as thunder, cold weather, or an unwanted bath resolve gently.
