My Dog, My Cat

 

 

By: Ashlee Fletcher

Summary:

In this bright new picture book, the author describes all the differences between her dog and cat, who don’t always get along. Her dog barks; her cat meows. Her dog likes steak; her cat likes tuna. Her dog’s tongue is wet; her cat’s tongue is rough. But the story ends on a delightfully sweet note when the author also tells us what her dog and cat have in common – a love of pizza and a love of their owner. The strong lines and fresh colors will make this book an appealing read as children learn about normal behaviors for the two most popular pets, and that even the most different of creatures can find things in common.

Review:

My dog, My cat was a very cute children’s book. I read it to my nephew (who is 3 ½) who has a dog and a cat and he loved it. He actually made me read it to him a couple more times, laughing every time. The pictures are quite cute. They are vibrant and colorful. Kids who have pets will easily be able to relate to the images and sentences in the story. The drawings also allow the reader to make sound effects and “act” out parts of the story, making kids laugh at your silly antics.

I would recommend this book for any child probably under 4, but the words are simple and could be used to help your child learn to read. If your child did not have any pets, you could use this book to teach them about some of the silly things cats and dogs do.
