Two best friends, Dog and Cat, have fun together when they dance, shop for hats, eat ice cream, read, and rollerblade.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
This chapter book features little plot or character development, but its repetitive verbal and visual cues can aid beginners. Each of its four scenarios favors a somewhat staccato Dick-and-Jane style "'Hello, Goose!' say Dog and Cat. / 'Hello, Dog! Hello, Cat!' says Goose") and feature an animal-buddy outing. Dog and Cat attend a dance; shop for hats; read; and try Rollerblading. Spohn replaces the rich, almost impressionistic art of her Broken Umbrellas with tidy cartoons that service the text with literal interpretations. An image of a house, pajamas, a book of "Dog Tricks" and a bone accompanies Dog's rhyme "Home, home. / Home is sweet. / With pajamas / and a book / and a bone to eat"; a millinery shop's sign takes the shape of a hat. For a less workmanlike offering for the same audience, see My Brother, Ant (reviewed below). Ages 5-8.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2?An episodic beginning reader about two friends. Dog and Cat take a walk, shop for a hat, read together, and try rollerblading. The book is similar in tone to Arnold Lobel's classic "Frog and Toad" series (HarperCollins). However, the friendship between those characters is deeper than the quietly expressed relationship between Dog and Cat. Spohn's pen-and-ink drawings painted with watercolor wash have a dainty quality. They are most successful when they have some background: sky, grass, a rug, etc. On some pages, the layout of pictures and text seems choppy. An additional purchase.?Mary Ann Bursk, Bucks County Free Library, Levittown, PA
