my BIG DOG

my BIG DOG
by Janet Stevens and Susan Stevens Crummel...
This is the cutest book!  It is about a cat named Merl.  He is the kinda cat who is stuck in his ways and likes it that way.  The sofa is his, the chair is his, the dish is his...and he likes it that way.  His world is turned upside town when a puppy is brought home.  He is sloppy, drooly, wiggly and clumsy.  Merl decides to leave and find a better place to live.  Unfortunately he doesn't like any of the other homes he visits.  Finally the BIG DOG picks Merl up and brings him back home.  The BIG DOG misses, needs and likes Merl.  Maybe Merl can live with this...maybe.

I loved this book!  It is told with the voice of the cat.  He seems so real.  Cats are so temperamental and this book portrays that perfectly.  The grass really isn't greener on the other side and this book is perfect for that lesson!
