Puffy and the Formidable Foe by Marie Lepkowski and Ann Marie Hannon is a book for children. This is actually a story based on a pet cat named Puffy. It is especially for children to give them an idea that not to leave home without the consent of parents or elders. There are also other lessons such as coloring, read aloud and rhyming words. The book is full of illustrations. It is also a learning for children what to do in such a condition.
The book starts with a painting of Puffy. Puffy went outside for hunting a rat. He saw a hole, but when he poked his head a mole came out. In search of a rat, he ran into the woods. He slept under mushroom heads and after sleeping, he started to play. While he was playing, a new animal came and puffy thought that it was just like him. No one told him to be aware of a kitty whose order is stinky. It was not a kitty like him, but it was a skunk. The odor was a surprise after which Puffy ran back to home. After reaching home, he was given a bath by the owner. And this bath was bad because the shampoo used was disgusting. After that, he made his mind that everyone with four legs is not a cat. At the end, we see that Puffy stays in the house and away from the skunks. At the end of the story, we come to know that there is no other place like home.
This story is a great learning for children as it contains a number of lessons. The major one is that not to leave home without permissions. There is no other place like home because it is safe from all the dangers. At the end of the story, it is mentioned that “There is no place like home!” The book also contains the idea of rhyming words for the beginners.
This book is also a self-assessment for children to analyze such a condition. This book is a recommendation for night time bed stories and rhyming words. It provides a special message for parents to take care of their children. There is also another lesson and that is to take care of our pets. At the end, there is a sketch for coloring.
I rate Puffy and the Formidable Foe 4 out of 4 stars. Because it is a perfect learning for children and it is full of illustrations. It is a short book but still full of meanings and lessons. This book has a number of lessons for children as well as adults. I would recommend this book to all children who like to have stories before sleeping. It is a child grooming tool.
