Book Overview

by Naseem Hrab (Author), Kelly Collier (Illustrator)

A quirky and iconic series of stories about friendship and belonging, in the style of Frog and Toad

A long-haired guinea pig and a naked mole rat may seem like unlikely friends, but Otis and Peanut are a perfect pair!

In three stories told in graphic-novel form, Otis and Peanut explore themes of loss, fear of change, and cooperation, while demonstrating what it means to be a supportive and caring friend. In "The Haircut," Otis worries about getting a haircut because he's afraid he'll look so different that he'll no longer be himself. In "The Swing," Peanut helps Otis come to terms with missing a beloved friend. And in "The House," Otis struggles to make his house a home but succeeds with Peanut's help.

Otis and Peanut are brought to life in this new paperback edition with delightful comic illustrations from Kelly Collier, and author Naseem Hrab's humor and sensitivity shines through in each tale of true friendship. The author-illustrator team of How to Party Like a Snail serves up laugh-out-loud moments, profound life lessons, and a new iconic literary duo that kids will love.
