Children will love the dog and five cats. The author cleverly brings them to life.

One serious Dog has been left in charge of five rambunctious cats and hi-jinks ensue.
A quick read with bright illustrations and expressions on Dog in particular. I wasn't as keen on the story as I might have been but it is still a cute story. There is a counting aspect to it, one to five being
I'm not sure if it's just the Scholastic edition which I have, but there are multiple scenes per page which make the book less ideal for a group storytime, but suited for one on one reading as there is lots of activity on each page. Each of the five cats has their own features as well, so they feel less generic. Details like that I like to see.

Maybe really 2.5 stars. Not the greatest story, but I liked the pictures, the counting and the onomatopoeia. As cats are inherently evil, I did not really buy their role in the finale.
