Kitten Construction Company: Meet the House Kittens

Description

Can you be too cute for your own good? Sadly, the answer is yes. In a world where kittens and humans coexist, several talented kittens with skills in architecture, construction, engineering, and plumbing have discovered that nobody will take them seriously in the workplace because they are just too darned adorable. So the kittens take matters into their own hands, and form their own all-feline firm: the Kitten Construction Company! They're going to build the best mayor's mansion the city has ever seen . . . just as soon as they can stop chasing laser pointers. With adorable art and a hilarious, pun-filled story, Kitten Construction Company is the latest kid-friendly comic from Hippopotamister author-illustrator John Patrick Green.

John Patrick Green has worked on comics for DC Comics, Nickelodeon, DreamWorks, and Scholastic Graphix. Kitten Construction Company is John's second graphic novel as writer and artist, following 2016's Hippopotamister, also published by First Second. John lives in Brooklyn with zero cats and way too many LEGOs. If he ever got around to updating his website, you'd be able to see more of his work at johngreenart.com.

Green's graphic novel is...adorable...will keep young readers giggling, and many will identify with Marmalade's plight...A winner of a tale, well-constructed and, dare we say, cute.--Kirkus Don't be fooled by the smiling kittens in construction hats adorning the cover--this lighthearted graphic novel doles out an important message about the dangers of judging by appearances. --School Library Journal
