Welcome to NoFuzzball's queendom. No, her name is not Fuzzball. It's NoFuzzball. After all, that's what everyone in her queendom chants all the time. "No, Fuzzball!"

NoFuzzball enjoys her servants immensely. They give her toys, massages, food... anything she wants! NoFuzzball is obviously the queen. So she is appalled when one day, without warning, her servants get up and leave on a vacation! All alone, NoFuzzball decides to come up with a few gifts to give her servants when they return. What surprises will she have in store? You'll have to read No Fuzzball! to find out!

This picture book is absolutely hilarious, especially if you know a cat's disposition and how they usually act like the whole world revolves around their furry, fuzzy cuteness. The illustrations are fun and vibrant, adding to the charm of the story. Children who love cats will adore NoFuzzball and her crazy antics!
