Here is the oh-so-hilarious and adorable story of a blended family--
using just a few words in various configurations-- from the pets'
point-of-view!
Cat and Dog live with their human in a suburban house with a big
backyard. Sure, they fight like.... well, cats and dogs, but they're
used to one another. Dog-- a different dog-- lives a happy only child
life in the city with his dad. He has the bed to himself, he never has
to share his toys, and that's the way he likes it. So what happens when
the Dog's dad and Cat and Dog's mom move in together? Well, it's
chaotic. There's not enough room on the bed, for starters. But as the
seasons pass, the three animals become a trio and learn to (mostly) love
one another. Just as they're settling into a cozy life as a threesome,
along comes..... a baby! This laugh-out-loud picture book, which is the
recipient of The Irma Simonton Black and James H. Black Award for
Excellence in Children's Literature, cleverly uses two repeating words
and is sure to strike a chord with kids dealing with the ups-and-downs
of settling into a blended family of their own.
