Fuddles is a very pampered cat, so he is not at all surprised when his family lays out a huge banquet—just for him—and a stack of presents—also just for him—under the best gift of all: a perfect climbing tree. But when his Christmas tree–climbing antics get him unceremoniously whisked out the front door and into a cold and snowy backyard wasteland, the oblivious kitty, last seen in Fuddles (2011), has to find his way back into the house, and he manages to do so in a very holiday-appropriate manner. Vischer’s soft, detailed illustrations capture the cheery kitty’s mischievous antics and triumphant return to his warm abode. Good-natured, silly holiday fun.— Sarah Hunter
