Praise for Fish Do Not Have Feet! ""Funny from start to fin-ish. This expertly paced graphic novel proves disco is far from dead under the sea. Miller puts a refreshing spin on the odd couple pairing, with Octopus undergoing a quick change of heart and joining the fun. The simple backgrounds allow readers to really focus on the small details that change from each single-page panel, especially the facial expressions. The question of how Fish even got feet goes unresolved--a brilliantly bizarre touch."" - Kirkus Praise for T. J. Miller A certain pleaser where furry fictions are well-loved. - Kirkus Reviews ""The clever structure, a story told entirely through two-word phrases composed of adjectives and then the nouns ""kitty"" and ""city,"" makes for a hypnotic, satisfying read-aloud experience, though the order changes after the first two pages, the only time the kitty precedes the city. A cozy story for cat lovers and anyone looking for a happy ending."" - Kirkus Reviews ""Izzy's happiness at creating something of his own and the simple but lively text make for a delightful and engaging read-aloud. A charming stroll through the imagination and a testament to the joys of creativity."" - Kirkus Reviews ""Rhythmic, declarative sentences and stripped-down characterizations and settings let the creative process and its rewards shine--and, via the artist's spattering, splattering hues, bring new meaning to the term 'flying colors.'"" - Publishers Weekly ""Miller's humor--which depends upon the woefully inept friends' ingenuous approach to their endeavor--will have readers eager for Moo Moo's next great idea."" - Publishers Weekly ""Miller (Horse Meets Dog) chronicles his protagonist's travels with compositions that range from bird's-eye views to dramatic low angles, while the abbreviated text may remind readers of their own pets' epithets: 'Noisy city./ Hiding kitty'; 'Wildlife city./ Playful kitty.'"" - Publishers Weekly ""In the annals of class-petdom, few indeed could ever match aptly named Hamstersaurus Rex for loyalty and ferocity."" - Booklist ""The uncomplicated cartoon-style illustrations and minimal text--just the duo's dialogue placed neatly in bubbles--make the humor accessible to a wide range."" - Booklist ""The illustrated cartoonlike spreads, done in acrylic gouache, enable children to follow the journey of the orange-and-white cat as she navigates the busy metropolis and finds kindness and love."" - Booklist ""The hilarious speech bubble asides pair perfectly with the bold illustrations to create a winning format for this tale of pluck. A sublimely silly read-aloud for storytime and small group sharing."" - School Library Journal ""This imaginative and creative book...will appeal to all children, as adventure, beginning reader, or even as an inviting cityscape to pore over."" - School Library Journal ""A terrific picture book debut, moving the wonderfully narcissistic dialogue along quickly as these two huge--and hugely mistaken--egos battle it out."" - Publishers Weekly (starred review) A funny, lighthearted option for fans of Tom Angleberger. - School Library Journal (starred review) ""A wonderful read! You'll never look at horses or dogs the same way again!"" - Jon Stewart ""Horse Meets Dog is a sweet, wise, and genuinely ha-ha funny exploration of not just horse/dog relations (historically strained), but also of friendship and difference."" - John Hodgman ""Horse meets Dog! Kalan meets Miller! Two great teams - one SO-DARN-FUNNY book! Go get it!"" - Laurie Keller

Either as a shared reading experience or for graphic novel readers looking for a quick read featuring silly and serious characters, this buddy book is sure to please."" - Booklist Praise for T. J.
