“See the Dog: Three Stories about a Cat” by David LaRochelle

A Cat in Dog’s Clothing!

Illustrated by Mike Wohnoutka

Join cat as he fills in for the dog, who is sick, in three stories.    However, the cat didn’t realize the stories would contain very dog-like, but completely un-cat-like, behaviors.  Cat soon discovers something he thought would be easy-peasy is far from it.

How is a cat supposed to dig a hole, and especially not get his pristine fur dirty?  Can a cat be expected to swim and get a stick?  Most importantly, can a cat fill in for a sheep dog and defend himself, along with sheep, from a wolf?!

Just like a fish out of water, cat tries to do what is expected from dog.  Be ready to hear giggles and laughter while your child reads the predicaments cat finds himself in as a result.  Kids preschool through fourth grade will love the zany adventures cat has when he tries to act like a dog.  Right when things look like they could be bad, cat is rescued.

I really enjoyed this five-star book, and so will your child.  This book follows in the footsteps of the hilarious first book, See the Cat:  Three Stores about a Dog.  Even though this is a fun tale, it has the underlying message that each of us are special, and it is hard for someone to take our place.  I highly recommend this to anyone who wants some smiles in their life!
