From the publisher

Join an unlikely trio for some irresistibly funny antics in this read-aloud gem from bestselling author Mem Fox and bestselling and award-winning illustrator Mark Teague. Once there was a huge, scary dog. Right? Wrong! But there was a cat. In this zippy, call-and-response-style adventure, a cat and dog are astonished to find a mouse in their house! The three circle each other while the story sometimes correctly describes their antics–and sometimes doesn’t. Young readers will love participating by pointing out which parts are right and wrong.
