Reviews

[Glen]

Garfield from his prime years, when he was ubiquitous.

A kids' book modelled after the cartoon, where Garfield decides to become a big star by auditioning in a cat food commercial, and the funny things that happen.

Do kids even know Garfield anymore? If they do, this is for them.

[Sam]

This book will appeal more to a nostalgic 1980's audience or those who aren't put off by snarky or sarcastic humor that encapsulates Garfield's personality, including references of his lovable, devoted friend, Odie as a "dumb dog."

Also, true of the 80's, Jon reads a newspaper ad for open auditions. Believing Garfield could win him a trip around the world, Jon convinces Garfield a win would be worthwhile to him as well. Garfield strategically removes his competition, and is a sure bet to become a TV star. In the end, however, maybe even Garfield realizes what matters most.

[Sonya Huser]

Garfield eats so much at his Fussy Cat brand cat food commercial audition that he is unable to film the commercial.
