Niblet & Ralph by Zachariah Ohora Book Review


Two pet cats switch places in this comically sweet story of mistaken identity, from beloved author-illustrator Zachariah OHora.

Niblet and Ralph may look a lot alike, but they are very different. Niblet loves noshing on crunchy potato chips. Ralph loves putting on headphones and jamming to his favorite records. But both cats have one thing in common: They love being friends and waving to each other from their windows across the courtyard of the apartment building they live in.

One day, Niblet and Ralph decide it's time to meet in person (or in cat?). But when they mistakenly end up at each other's apartments, their owners think that Niblet is Ralph, and Ralph is Niblet! Will Niblet and Ralph be able to switch back to their proper homes, or will they be stuck listening to music (ugh) and eating chips (gross) forever? Better still, will they be able to bring their lovable (if not very observant) human families together?

With zany humor and bold, bright art, Zachariah OHora creates a purrrfect picture book for kids, adults, and pets of all ages to enjoy.
My Thoughts:

What an adorable children’s book. Two calicos who look alike discovered that they are in the same building decide they want to meet in person rather than talk on the phone. They decide to surprise one another. Except Ralph & Niblet both do it at the same time on a different route. They wait in each other’s homes. When there human kids return home from school they think that the cats have been cat napped. The parents think the kid’s imagination is running wild. The cats are each different in what they like and has the kids worrying about their feline fur babies. If you’re a cat lover you can really appreciate this book.

The illustrations are fun to explore within the pages of the book.  The colors are bold and fun. 

This book had me smiling and even my 12 year old son laughed at it. It sounds too much like the differences and similarities of the cats that live in our home except, our cats don’t look alike.
