One particularly sunny day, he floats right out the window! Exploring the wide world is exhilarating, but it's also a little scary. Will his new friend, a bird, be able to help him find his way home?

Do you like fat, fluffy cats? THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU. <3
This book is so adorable. A kitty who is so fluffy he floats away? What more could you want? Beautiful illustrations and a sweet, simple storyline. Perfect for little ones...and definitely adults too. I’m so pleased to see Papillon is a series!

An extremely fluffy kitten named Papillon, so fluffy that he is in perpetual danger of floating away, is a constant source of worry to his human in this sweet picture-book. Determined to ground him, Miss Tilly tries everything she can to weight Papillon down, but her efforts, which largely consist of dressing him in more and more outrageous outfits, do not please her feline friend. Then one day Papillon, intrigued by a little bird flying by, really does float off, getting lost in the process. Wi

My good friend Win MacSqueegie picked this book out for me.
Like Papillon I am a gorgeous fluffy (not fat) cat.
I could totally relate to some of the scenarios - no clothes for me! I don't care if they are adorable. And a fretful mom who's just "slightly" clingy.
Very cute illustrations. ...more

This story was so fluffy, my heart floated.
This fun fluffy cat, Papillon, is so fluffy that he floats! His owner, Miss Tilly, tried all sorts of ways to keep him on the earth: food, costumes, etc. Then Fluffy refused to wear outfits and Miss Tilly gave up! One day Fluffy saw a bird friend and floated out of his house and got lost! How would he find his way home? You and your young reader must read this book to find out! I highly recommend this book for your beginning readers for its simple words and whimsical story and illustrations! -Sa

Soooo cute
This book made my heart melt in the best way.
Gorgeous illustrations and a fluffy cat full of charm elevate a weird, but simple, story.

Papillion is a very fluffy kitty, so fluffy that he floats away if he isn’t wearing something to hold him down. He doesn’t like the outfits that his loving Miss Tilly makes for him though. One day when he is free of his clothes, he follows a bright red bird out of the window, past a bear’s cave, over swamps filled with crocodiles, till he gets all tangled up in vines.

First sentence: Papillon is a big kitty. He is not fat. Just very fluffy. I mean FLUFFY! He is lighter than air, which can get him into trouble.
Premise/plot: Papillon is one FLUFFY cat. Miss Tilly, his owner, worries that he might FLOAT away. She is always coming up with a new way to weigh this kitten down and keep him grounded. But. Papillon isn't always receptive to her ideas. Can Miss Tilly and Papillon come to agreement on the situation? Papillon may change his mind once he gets lost....

The story is sweet, and the pictures made me die of cuteness. Who doesn't need pictures of a floating cat dressed in different outfits in their life?

This was such a cute story. A kitty may look big, but sometimes that is all fluff. So Kitty needs some extra weight. But Kitty hates wearing cloths, and it gets them in trouble one day. Thank goodness they made a friend who helps them find a way home. The illustrations perfectly convey the fluffiness of this kitty. It is simply lovely.

My husband and our very fluffy cat both enjoyed this immensely. We look forward to reading more about Papillon and his adventures.
So clever and charming. ( Papillon means butterfly in French )
Papillon is so fluffy he floats! In order to keep him from floating away his owner, Miss Tilly, dresses him up (which he doesn't like) to weigh him down. After trying time and time again, Miss Tilly gives up the fight. Papillon has a blast floating around all day, until he floats right out the window (chasing a bird friend). Can Papillon get home? Will his new bird friend help him?

So I feel a bit silly adding a children's book, but when I saw the cover at the grand opening of our new (bigger!) library, I couldn't resist. The artwork was just so beautiful and charming on the cover. As the mother of a VERY fluffy tabby cat, Papillon reminded me of my beloved Scooter. Not only was the art beautiful but the story was just as lovely as sweet as I'd hoped. And now that I know there's a *second* book, I'll be adding these tales to my book collection.

Thought I would hate this book. Very charming story and illustrations. Silly concept with clever touches in the story to keep it unpredictable. very sweet ending with mc solving own problem and following his heart. Almost vintage, film-style-compositions keep pages lively. Very rereadable. Text not always smooth, but narrative very good. Nice book on friendship.
Papillon is a very fluffy kitty - as in he floats away! The only thing that holds him down is wearing clothes. But have you tried to make a cat wear clothes? SUPER CUTE picture book. Can't wait to try this in story time.

Papillon (cat named Papillon, not a dog who is a Papillon) is cute AF and the story is surreal/funny. Definite yes for storytime for preK.
Very fluffy indeed. If only we could all fly away on the breeze and then come back home. Gentle art lends to the gentle and curious feline and his accidental adventures.
Amazing, adorable, absolutely awesome!
