Absolutely adorable! On the surface the story is silly and fun for kids, but for adults it's a clever critique of modern society. Absolutely adorable! Peanutbutter is the hardworking office cat, and Jeremy is the troublemaking crow.

A graphic novel with laugh out loud charm,
By The Velvet Scribe (Sedalia, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peanutbutter & Jeremy's Best Book Ever (Paperback)
Cartoonish James Kochalka's are a delight. They juxtapose the naive kitty Peanut Butter and the obnoxious, untrustworthy crow Jeremy.
Even though she's just a normal sleepy housecat, Peanut Butter has delusions of being an office worker filing papers on the Flumdummer account. She's prone to wearing hats and ties. Jeremy is the hateful crow that lives in a nest outside Peanut Butter's window. Jeremy will do anything to steal a hat. In their first meeting, he tricks Peanut Butter into buying his nest with a "million dollar view" for a million dollars. When she protests that she doesn't have any dollars, he throws a fit. Some scenes can be mildly disturbing -- like the incident where Jeremy offers to help Peanut Butter remove her hat that's stuck over her eyes by shooting her with a handgun. Luckily, she escapes unharmed. I particularly like one-page introductions that Kochalka has drawn to introduce each story. For the longest story, Peanut Butter warns that maybe you should pee before you start it. Jeremy adds, "If you're a baby!" It's really just impossible to describe the unique appeal of this book. Use the "Search Inside" to get a peek.

A crow with an attitude and a cat with a big heart,
By
This review is from: Peanutbutter & Jeremy's Best Book Ever (Paperback)
Here's a graphic novel that is a lot of fun and is appropriate for younger kids! Peanutbutter is a cat with a job--she often "works" at filing papers, sorting accounts and general office management for her "boss." Jeremy is a crow who lives outside Peanutbutter's house...er..."office"--he's mean and crude, but Peanutbutter calls him her best friend. Both are typical representations of the creatures they portray, but they also have their own personalities. The book is divided into several short stories, with Peanutbutter and Jeremy introducing each one. The black and white drawings are simple and expressive, and the text is easy to read and page design is easy to follow. Recommended especially for cat lovers!

Sweet Pea,
By Sweet Pea (Louisville, KY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Peanutbutter & Jeremy's Best Book Ever (Paperback)
Peanut Butter and Jeremy, a classic story of an overtly sweet cat befriending a bitter crow. I love this book, it is charming and silly. James Kochalka does some of his best work through cats.
This is book was not written for children. I was appalled by another parent's warning, "Don't be fooled by the cute cat on the cover and get this book for your child." People who buy books for their kids based on the cover are just as bad as people who take six year olds to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (just because they think it's a kid's book). As a parent, I think it's shameful the way some people go on auto pilot then get offended by what their children are exposed to. Your JOB is to know what your kids are reading, watching, doing. That's your JOB. Anyway, sorry to everyone else. This book is great. It's light and refreshing and makes me happy to be alive.
