Booklist - 07/01/2020 Crackers and Butter, a dog and cat who live a peaceful life with their human, are suddenly thrown a curveball in the form of Peanut, a puppy. Simple but effective cartoons and black-and-white frames deliver the tale of Crackers and Butter adjusting to tiring days with the new puppy, who needs help with everything they take for granted. The old hands needing a little time to accept their new fur-family member drives the plot of these slice-of-life stories. The creator has experience drawing Peanuts cartoons, and it shows in the delightful way she captures everyday moments. The whole thing is hand drawn, including the speech balloons, frames, and sound effects, and the backgrounds are minimal, only detailed enough to give the reader a sense of place. And like adults in Peanuts, the human doesn't even have discernible speech. Puppy Problems is heart-warming and gives readers a glimpse at the perspective of pets who are adopted into a loving home and, after a little adjustment period, choose to extend that familial love and friendship to a new dog. - Copyright 2020 Booklist.
