The opening page uses Figgy the mouse to teach parents and young readers how to read a graphic novel including what speech bubbles and panels are with instructions to read top to bottom.
Figgy and Boone are lovable characters; Figgy has convinced himself that Boone is his brother. Boone points out Figgy is a mouse and Boone is a rat, so they cannot be brothers. Figgy argues that they both have big ears and pointy noses, but Boone says they are more like cousins. Soon, Figgy goes in search of his new brother finding a hamster, a turtle, a stink bug and even a doll.
Next, things get wild when Figgy brings home a kitten. He's convinced the little cat is his brother until Boone tells him that cats are not their friends. Boone saves the day when he outsmarts the adult cat who grabs Figgy, and Boone accepts Figgy as his brother.
A cute story about found family and fitting in, Figgy & Boone will be a childhood favorite for many young readers.
Highly recommended for beginning readers.
