Books by Charise Mericle Harper

A silly, yet heartfelt early graphic novel series starring two lovable dogs, Pepper and Boo, and their bewildering feline co-star, the cat, from Charise Mericle Harper, the beloved creator of the Craft Cat, Just Grace, and Fashion Kitty series.

This lively nonfiction graphic novel for ages 8-12, from bestselling children's author-illustrator Charise Mericle Harper, dives deep into that everyday source of stress and humour for kids - embarrassment. With science facts, jokes, and compassion (and some slapstick) this book lets kids know they aren't alone and puts them at ease.

Charise Mericle Harper (Crafty Cat, Just Grace, Fashion Kitty) delivers another hilarious and charming early graphic novel series starring Pepper and Boo, two darling dogs, and their suspicious housemate, the cat.Meet Pepper and Boo. They are two dogs who do not know much about cats. (Who does?) They wonder why the cat sleeps so much (in their beds!), licks itself so much, what the cat is thinking, and what makes the cat happy.Luckily, the cat can explain. The cat knows a lot about being a cat. They know a cat will sleep anywhere (a box, a keyboard, a sink, and Boo's bed) and any time of day. They know what cats like and do not like to eat. They also know that although they are different, they're happy to have housemates like Pepper and Boo.Harper cleverly shifts point-of-view between the cat and two dogs, creating laugh-out-loud moments through her text and art that younger readers will want to return to again and again.
