Book Review
I liked all the balloons especially the ones with bones
Mum’s Opinion : A funny book about dog and cat who spend lots of time together but they also do things differently. When dog celebrates his birthday, cat wants to share the limelight and invite all his friends too. Dog gets annoyed and sends cat away but then realises cat has left him a present. Life feels lonely for dog without cat and he searches for cat and finds her in a flower pot, they become inseparable once again. A must read and laugh out loud book for animal loving children. The illustrations are bright and colourful and they capture the fun and drama between the two.
Theo’s Opinion : I love both dog and cat. They are funny. The pictures are big and colourful.
Dog’s birthday cake looked yummy and I liked all the balloons especially the ones with bones.
