Add a CommentI enjoyed both the story and the illustrations. Well-suited for a read-aloud to the children. Parents are likely to be amused by (and can probably relate to) Dog's attempts to corral the cats when they refuse to "sit" and "stay". It's not a story with a defined moral, but still entertaining.
The expressive illustrations and comic book-inspired style help this dog and cat story rise above the pack. Repetition and rhythm make for an excellent read aloud for as young as 3 (one-on-one, 4+ in a group), the characters, style, and joyful disasters help it stretch as old as 7.
