What happens when a cat tries to be a dog? With this second wry
primer, the creators of See the Cat return to demonstrate that
standing in for a friend can be trickier than expected.
The dog is sick today, but have no fear--the cat is happy to take his
place! But when the book (who is very bossy) tells her to dig a hole,
the dirt-averse cat finds a way to accomplish the task while keeping her
fur pristine. And when the book demands that she fetch a stick (in the
water!) or guard a sheep (from a wolf!), the cat responds in very
un-doglike ways. Can the book and the cat reach a happy ending? With
simple, repetitive phrases and tongue-in-cheek humor, this spoof on a
classic early reader pits a well-meaning but slightly dramatic cat
against a highly persistent book in a comical battle of wits that will
have kids yowling.
