Review
"Aimed at emerging readers, this hilarious chapter book is a great way to ease young readers from picture books to longer works of fiction. The plot begins with a simple theme but as one comical muddle piles on top of the next, Andrew and Josh_s mission becomes a tangle of absurd situations. Lots of high energy illustrations by Kim LaFave add to the general silliness. Highly recommended." - Canadian Book Review Annual ". . . speeds along at a good pace through the episodic plot. Readers will laugh at the antics of Andrew and his friends as they dash from one false sighting of Sarah [the lost cat] to the next, leaving disaster in their wake." - CM Magazine
