I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway—thanks, Goodreads! <3
The story of Mr. Fuzzbuster's uncertainty about his place in Lily's heart when other animals join their family is cute and the illustrations are lovely. This strikes me as a book that children might read with their grownups rather than on their own, because a lot goes unsaid. We are left to read characters' expressions and draw our own conclusions about what they're thinking. The story raises great family discussion points.
I was sad that at the end poor little Mr. Fuzzbuster was thrown for a loop again, wondering if in fact Lily's doll was her favourite. Also for a moment in the beginning I thought that King was a snake, since it's rare that lizards make a sound and I don't associate them with hissing.
Overall, a nice tale about sharing one's space, life, and love with others.
