Book Overview: Trupp, a young Fuzzhead, decides to venture into the world. With a cheeky raven for a companion, Trupp rambles through the city, going virtually unnoticed by humans–that is, until they are confronted by a homeless woman who sees Trupp for who he really is. Before Trupp can decide whether to stay or run away, this unusual woman realizes that he could use a little help. “Fans of Stellaluna, Cannon’s exceptional debut book, will approach her second with high expectations–and those will be met.”–Publishers Weekly

Mary’s Review: Trupp who is an adorable cat-like creature has decided that it is time to go out of his realm and explore a world beyond his own.  He must disguise himself as people not of his world are afraid of him.  He takes the clothes from a scarecrow as a disguise and at the same time meets Krok, a raven who informs him that he goes with the scarecrow’s clothing.  With this Trupp begins his adventure with Krok to lead the way.  Trupp meets several people who don’t realize who or what he is and one, Bernice, who does.  Bernice helps Trupp out of trouble and in turn, Trupp protects Bernice and at the same time realizes that there is no place like home and nothing better to be than himself.

The illustrations are  great.  Trupp is so life-like to me and oh wouldn’t I love to have him for a pet or better yet a friend.

I recommend this book for ages 4-up.
