Peanut has floppy ears, huge energy, and absolutely no idea how to keep the peace.

This early graphic novel turns pet jealousy into laugh-out-loud comedy, with expressive panels and quick, funny dialogue. Young readers will understand why Butter and Crackers want their quiet life back, but they will also see how lonely it can feel to be the new one in the family.
