Reviews
"This long-form picture book offers a lengthier story to youngsters who might not be ready for chapter books. Though over 100 pages, water-color illustrations cover each one and keep the story moving. The result is a sweet account of friendship and adventure that will please kids for whom one picture book is never enough." --Booklist
"It's the stories that matter . . . [kids] want to think, they want to expand their mind, they want to understand the world around them. They do that through character and story . . . In [The Good Dog and the Bad Cat], there's a question of: are your first impressions of somebody else right or wrong and if someone does something bad to you, is that the end of that person? Or can things change? They are open-ended questions, because I always want to press kids to think for themselves." --Todd Kessler, author, from his interview with Casual Muse entitled Kids Don't Have a Short Attention Span
