Customer Reviews

Funny and dramatic!

This book is really good! The illustrations are beautiful. It’s a happy story that involves fun little ferrets. It’s an excellent story for kids probably 2nd grade and up, but still fun for those who are older. I’ve read all three in the series and they’re all great! I love reading them over and over again.

Ferret User's Manual

This book should be provided with every purchase of a ferret. It explains many things about the care and feeding of ferrets while at the same time telling a cute and funny story. The artwork is first rate and the characters are interesting. There's even a bit of a sub-text for parents about a busy single mom who is driven to buy a pet for her daughter despite misgivings. Any pet loving kid will find out that pets often do not understand their humans and even intended kindness can be misinterpreted. Highly recommended!

Looking forward to the next volume

Peach Fuzz tells the story of a young ferret (Peach) adopted by a nine-year-old girl named Amanda. The story is quite basic (new owner and new pet getting used to one another during everyday experiences), but it's made fun and interesting by the fact that Peach is just a kit trying to figure out what the world is all about. And boy, does she have some imagination! As a former ferret owner, I enjoyed the book very much. It reminded me of many of the things my ferret did during her eight years of life. The book would probably most be enjoyed by someone who has owned a ferret or is interested in owning one; it contains information on their care, as well as terms that are well-known in the ferret owner community. My only complaint is that Tokyopop should be more discriminating in the ads put in the back of their "all ages" books, but that's not the authors' fault.

<3 Ferrets

If you love ferrets, then this is a manga for you. This is one of the most absolutely adorable American manga's I have ever seen. Can't wait to see more from this creator!

Cute And Fun!

Peach Fuzz is a cute manga about a nine-year old girl named Amanda Keller. Her single mother doesn't have much time to spend with her, and, after lots of begging and pleading, agrees to let Amanda get a pet. But there is one big rule: The pet absolutely can't bite Amanda. Amanda spots the ferrets and is instantly smitten. She tries to pick them up, but they all bite her. All except one. Amanda chooses the nice one and names her Peach. Peach, who is really the Princess of the Ferrets, causes all kinds of problems for Amanda. She sees her cage as a dungeon, and Amanda's hand as a horrible, five-headed monster called a Handra. Overall, Peach Fuzz was very cute, fun and well drawn. It was cool to see a manga by an American author and artist. I think Peach Fuzz is aimed toward younger kids, but I'm twelve and loved it just the same. It is probably my favorite manga. It has a good mix of drama, fun, action and humor all together. I can't wait for Volume 2! ^____^

AWESOME BOOK!

I love Peach Fuzz! It is cool, funny, and all the pictures are drawn very well! Peach Fuzz is an American manga. The moment I finished reading Peach Fuzz, I fell in love with it and became obsessed. PEACH FUZZ ROCKS!
