Synopsis

The adorable My Pet Human series continues at school, where Oliver and Freckles star in the pet club's talent show.

Freckles is new at her elementary school, and Oliver wants to be sure she finds her niche. So when she joins the pet club and gets roped into putting on a talent show to raise money for the local animal shelter, Oliver has no choice but to help out. What he doesn't bargain for is that Freckles takes in a foster kitten! Turns out, while Oliver values his independence, he's not so eager to give up being center stage.

About this title

About the Author:

Yasmine Surovec loves kitties. She is the artist behind the popular comic blog and book Cat vs. Human and the picture books I See Kitty and A Bed for Kitty. Originally from Manila, Philippines, she now lives in Phoenix, Arizona, with her husband, son, puppy, and three kitties.

From School Library Journal:

Gr 2–4-In this follow-up to My Pet Human, Oliver the cat returns in a new adventure. Freckles, Oliver's pet human, is starting school, and Oliver can't bear to be left behind. He hides in Freckles's backpack and is undetected until she gets to school. Fortunately, there is a classroom where Oliver can spend the day with the Fur-ever Friends group's adult organizer. Freckles ends up joining the group and gets involved in planning a fund-raising event to benefit the local animal shelter. She also agrees to foster a kitten, a decision that Oliver does not approve of. Freckles decides to teach the cats tricks to perform at the upcoming benefit, but during the show, disaster ensues when too many kitty treats cause unintended and hilarious consequences. Surovec's illustrations are endearing, especially when Oliver adopts the big-eyed cute kitty look. Readers will empathize with both Freckles and Oliver in this sweet story perfect for new readers and animal lovers. VERDICT A recommended purchase for most chapter book collections. Hand to readers who love animal tales.-Kathy Kirchoefer, Henderson County Public Library, NC
