Review Quotes ""Pineapple's pre-Kiwi schedule included ample doses of eating, window-watching, sleeping, solitary play, and snuggling with his human. . . . Newly bonded, the pair eats, naps, and makes mischief together, and a final spread shows them sharing a cozy lap-nap. . . . A familiar story of house-bound pet rivalry, amiably resolved."" -- Kirkus Reviews ""Pineapple the cat lives a pampered life of playing, napping, and snacking . . . until tiny tabby Kiwi shows up. . . . Kurpiel caters to a younger audience, offering a simple, older-sib-recognizable plot, retro pastel coloring, and unpretentious digital art. . . . ""Motifs of fruit . . . are playful Easter eggs for more observant viewers, and they may quickly lead to an identifying game during one-on-one storytimes."" -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books"
