From School Library Journal K-Gr 2–Stanley the dog is not at all happy when, without consulting him, his people bring home a cat. And no matter what happens, he always seems to be in trouble. . Just as he is about to give up all hope of being her friend, she sidles up to him and goes to sleep. The colorful illustrations and comic expressions on the pets' faces enhance the story, which already contains two of the magic elements when it comes to picture-book popularity–humor and pets. In spite of his attempts at friendliness, she whacks him on the nose. This story would be enjoyable for storytime as a stand-alone, but also would make a nice lead in for discussions about getting along with others.–Sarah Provence, Churchill Road Elementary School, McLean, VA(c) Copyright 2010.
