"Definitely a book to return to several times."

"A special book, refreshingly unconventional, stylish, and slightly mad."

Product Description

I meow.

I bark.

I've got claws.

I've got paws.

I chase leaves.

I chase thieves.

It's the battle of the breeds when the family cat and dog start to spat over who is the superior animal. Like sparring siblings, when Cat says he's got fleas, Dog insists that his are itchier. If Cat is crafty, Dog is cunning. Cat can play the fiddle? Well, Dog can howl at the moon. Is there anything they both can agree on?

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of Giggles, October 15, 2006

By	Reading Mom (Albany, NY) - See all my reviews

My [...] daughter took this book out from the library and couldn't stop reading it and giggling. After we returned it, she recited passages from memory and still giggled. I'm buying the book now. She loved the cat and dog insulting each other; "You're as ugly as a Pekinese," and the little dialog blurbs accompanying the illustrations. Excellent fun for a dog and cat loving child.
