See the Dog

Three Stories About a Cat

ISBN: 978-1-5362-1629-5

by David LaRochelle

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.

This 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-dog like 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.
