Pets navigate chaos and love in a newly blended family.
In a suburban home, Cat and Dog are used to their quirky battles. But when another Dog from the city moves in, chaos ensues. As they adjust to sharing space and toys, a new challenge arrives—a baby! Can this unlikely trio find harmony in their blended family? Discover the hilarious journey of pets learning to love and adapt in this charming tale.
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.
