I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
Children who lean towards cats rather than dogs will enjoy [[Dewey: The True Story of a World-famous Library Cat by Vicki Myron and Brett Witter]]. For a story about dogs, we can recommend [[The Dogs of Winter by Bobbie Pyron]]. Any adult wanting advice on looking after a dog might like to look at [[The Dog Whisperer by Graeme Sims]].
