Book Synopsis

Lighthouses, lobster rolls, two silly scaredy-cats, and one uproarious seaside adventure!

Chowder and Crackers live in the quiet, coastal town of Kittybunkport, where they pass their time sitting in the sun, napping, scratching stuff, and of course, catching lobster. Until one day the town's lighthouse--rumored to be haunted--suddenly goes dark. When Chowder and Crackers are sent to fix the problem, will the two scaredy-cats be able to save Kittybunkport?

With playfully purrfect text by Scott Rothman and riotous illustrations by New York Times bestselling illustrator Zachariah OHora, Kittybunkport is a story young readers will want to visit again and again.

Review Quotes

"Sure to delight New Englanders. Highly imaginative, hilarious fun." --Kirkus Reviews

"Paws playfully at a well-known Maine destination . . . Saturated colors, chunky shapes, and an expressive feline cast that could be kitted out of the L.L. Bean catalog." --Publishers Weekly

"OHora's offbeat, vintage-hued illustrations match the story's silly tone and add entertaining details--try spotting the small lobster ghosts wafting through the book." --Booklist

"OHora's digitally rendered art in saturated retro-hued colors makes the most of the humor; details such as the little lobster ghosts floating through many of the scenes will make readers want to haunt these pages again and again." --The Horn Book
