Fluffy McWhiskers Cuteness Explosion by Stephen W. Martin
Product details
Web ID: 15924540Super Cuteness Explosion
LOVED THIS ONE! It's a fun little story about a cat who is so cute that if you look at her you explode - don't worry it's all in good fun with really cute colorful fireworks. But the heart of the story is about friendship and reminding people that if even someone looks all put together and 'perfect' on the outside they may be struggling with something. Honestly it had me and my boys cracking up - parent and kid approved - thumbs up!

Explodey Animals
Fluffy McWhiskers is cursed with cuteness. “Yes, Fluffy McWhiskers was so cute that if you saw her … you’d explode.” Which, if you think about it, kinda ups the danger level of reading this book. It’s a lonely existence when no one lives long enough to be your friend. Fluffy goes to extreme lengths to save potential victims but nothing seems to work. Is she destined to be alone forever? I am so conflicted. I don’t know whether to tell you that I laughed at the absurdity of this book or how ashamed I feel for finding a massacre of cutie patooties amusing. Granted, they were very pretty rainbow explosions, but so many adorable animals (many of which I found cuter than Fluffy) died explodey deaths all over the pages. I do have one question. If even seeing Fluffy’s photo in a newspaper is a death sentence, then how did the photographer and the rest of the newspaper staff survive long enough to publish that edition of the Animal Times? Be on the lookout out for the Piggy Bank and Pizza Sloth Express.

Great illustrations and artwork - Scary story
I purchased this for my 3 year old granddaughter. The exploding animal friends is too dark for a children's book. The artwork was beautiful, but I felt the need to make up a story to go with the characters, rather than read the actual story. It was difficult to fly by the pages that showed the animal friends exploding.

A super cute tale
I'll admit. The idea of creatures exploding does sound rather violent and dismal, but that's a concern to quickly shove aside. This is a quirky, fun, and super cute tale about friendship and learning to like ones self...it's just told in a very different an unexpected way. Fluffy is super, amazingly, adorably cute and has a very fitting name. She kind, sweet and friendly, but nobody ever gets that far with her, since they take one glance in her direction and explode into sparkle and fireworks. Very pretty and dynamic but horrible on the friendship end. A fuzzy ball of fluffiness best describes Fluffy, but it's the reaction others have to her that will make younger readers surprised, giggle and smile...maybe with a bit of raised eyebrows, but laughter is hard to keep in. If Fluffy took joy in this, the tale, obviously, wouldn't work, but in this story, poor Fluffy really isn't okay with this but has no idea how to stop it. She really feels bad about it, wishes it would stop, and takes huge steps to change the situation, which make it pull at the heart strings even more. It's easy to connect with Fluffy, especially since she really is kind and sweet. But what I really enjoy is that it shows that being marked as 'super' or 'cute' or 'great' doesn't always mean that a person will find great friends. True friendship doesn't work that way, and this tale is a clever, cute way to address that...while building in more than a few funny moments. I received an ARC copy.
