Papillon Goes to the Vet

Every time I see this one I almost roll on the floor from the sheer pleasure its images bring. I'm sorry (not really) but it is really JUST THAT CUTE! Papillon is an ADORABLE kitty who (we learn in his first adventure) is so fluffy that he FLOATS. Yes, floats! He's just THAT FLUFFY! Well, this time around, Papillon isn't really feeling like himself, in fact, with a *HIC* here and a *HIC* there, he's downright under the weather. Good thing his human knows what to do and rushes our friend Papillon to the Vet, on the double! There he discovers that while he may feel down and out, he is not alone...nor is it a permanent condition. With the help of a few other magnificent felines on the mend, Papillon comes to realize that while his show more fluffiness and floatiness are certainly extra special qualities, they are not all that make him who he is.

A wonderful story to lift the spirits of kiddos having their own bout of down-to-earthiness or even that of pets on the mend from their own misadventures.

Papillon, the kitty so fluffy that he floats, returns in this second adorable picture-book devoted to his adventures. Playing with his best friend, the little red bird, our feline hero ends up swallowing his toy, weighing himself down in the process, and becoming so ill that he can no longer fly. His human, Miss Tilly, rushes him to the vet, where, after an initial period of distress, Papillon disgorges his unintentional avian meal, and impresses the other cats with his floating games...

Although not quite the equal of the original - perhaps the novelty of a fluffy (AKA: plump!) kitty floating around has worn off? - Papillon Goes to the Vet is nevertheless an engaging, sweet little picture-book. As a cat-lover myself, I found this show more feline's many expressions quite charming, and think young pet-lovers will find the story here quite reassuring, especially if they are taking their companion animal to the veterinarian for the first time. Recommended to all young cat-lovers, as well as to fans of The Very Fluffy Kitty, Papillon. show less

Story is even fluffier than the cat. Do kids like this? Maybe the very youngest. I'd rather watch a video of Maru and a box.

Papillion is still the very fluffy kitty who floats. But after an accident while playing Papillon has to go to the vet. He doesn’t feel well and is jealous of all the other kitties playing. Until a miracle cure helps him get back home. A simply lovely book with lovely illustrations.
