The Good Dog and the Bad Cat

A mysterious thief is stealing from the Lee family household and bakery and it s up to little puppy Tako to catch the culprit. Tako succeeds in exposing Allie, a feisty cat, but when she gets thrown out of the house Tako begins to have second thoughts about the consequences of his actions. Tako may be the only one who can uncover the truth, but to do so he will have to fight the vicious river rats and learn there may be more to the mischievous cat than what meets the eye. With a focus on narrative storytelling, this book bucks the trend of increasingly shorter picture books and encourages sustained, robust discussion and independent thinking."
