Poppy & Sam and the Leaf Thief

Written and illustrated

By Cathon

Poppy and Sam’s debut introduces its two central characters — a smart, resourceful girl living in a pumpkin and her neighbor, a goofy miniature panda — and is full of mystery and surprise!

Where were you last night?

Poppy and Sam have launched an investigation: they want to find out who nibbled their dear friend Basil’s leaves. None of the insects will own up to it. To unmask the offender, they will have to show a lot of ingenuity. After a few misadventures, they find the remorseful nibbler — and Basil helps him understand that everything tastes better when it is freely offered.
