Today, we're shining the light on a Storybook title that hit bookstore shelves this past June. It stars two lovable cats and two lovable kids in a curiously cute and funny version of the Prince and Pauper...with nary a lack of love to be seen. Ready or not, here comes today's title in the spotlight...

Dilla and Niblet. Gemma and Ralph.
That's the way it's always been and shall always be...
...until it's not and we're left with a case of Not Niblet's, Fake Ralph's, and two little owners scratching their heads as to what in the world is going on with their beloved furry friends!
Can you imagine? One day, you come home and your bestest buddy is acting like they barely know you? They don't eat their favorite snacks, play with their favorite toys, or act like themselves in general. I mean, I know I'd be worried! Dilla and Gemma take it upon themselves to solve the mystery of the "not" and "fake", and end up discovering that not only are their bestest buds close by and safe, but that their are other friends to be had right outside their doors.
It's an adorable tale of friendship that will have little ones captivated by the striking illustrations with their bold color palette, and slightly bigger ones smiling at the antics of two friendly yet mischievous little cats.
