Kitty Capers: A Peanut, Butter & Crackers Story
(Nosy Crow, July 2026)
In this fifth hilarious Peanut, Butter & Crackers graphic-novel adventure, Butter wants some quiet time alone. Away from dogs. But is this a case of be careful what you wish for?
Crackers and Peanut are having a lot of fun. And making a lot of noise. Butter just wants some peace and quiet for a nice cat nap. He finds the perfect spot in a neighbour’s garden. Then it starts raining and it looks warm and dry inside the house. . . but it’s not long before Butter realises he’s made a mistake. Could it be that he’s actually missing those pesky dogs?
Spoiler: cats don’t like dress-up, and dogs mean well but aren’t always quick to figure things out without their feline companion.
