Otis & Peanut

Summary/Review: "A long-haired guinea pig and a naked mole rat may seem like unlikely friends, but Otis and Peanut perfectly support one another’s quirks and foibles. A graphic novel in the spirit of Frog and Toad, these three delightful stories explore themes like friendship, grief, fear of change, and belonging, and they do it in a light and humorous way that will warm the hearts of every reader. In “The Haircut,” Otis worries about getting a haircut because he’s afraid he’ll look so different he’ll no longer be himself. In “The Swing,” Peanut helps Otis come to terms with missing a beloved friend. And in “The House,” Otis struggles to make his house a home with Peanut’s help. These two endearing characters gently explore deep truths about life and human nature, while helping each other figure out their world."--
