A cat and a dog (with contrasting personalities) spend the day together. Throughout the day, they find common ground and their relationships grows a little bit.
While the illustrations are absolutely beautiful; I struggled with the disconnect that resulted from the unseen narrator and the meaning of the story (sibling relationships) being portrayed by animals. It might have been better if there were actual children.

Follow a pet cat and a pet dog as they go through out their day. Their usual replies are yes and no, but typically opposite of each other. It's a "conversation" heavy book and a bit long for my usual storytime crowd.

Spare text and simple illustration that really work together to convey the story.

As a cat and dog spend their day together, they discover how they are different, yet can still spend time together. The dog loves to say “yes,” whereas the cat always says “no.” Is there ever a time that dog will say no? Maybe when it’s bedtime. I love the illustrations in this one!

My 27mo thinks this book is so funny. She loves that the dog is so enthusiastic and the cat says no all the time. The art is great too. The animals are illustrated evocatively, capturing the goofiness of the dog, the aloofness of the cat, and their lovely setting.

I keep comparing every book of Elisha Cooper's to "Big Cat, Little Cat"...and I do not get there. Never.
This book is fun in showcasing the differences between cats and dogs (and as a dog person, yep, totally accurate). And there are simple words and phrases that will be great for beginning readers. BUT there isn't the full emotional impact I wanted =/
