I love this book! I am a devout "dog person" and did not expect to be equally captivated by the feline characters in the story-- but I was! In this case the dog and cat characters together are what make the story engagingly and unbelievably cute, funny & sweet.
The illustrations by Dan Santat are spectacular! They fill the pages and take on a decidedly three-dimensional feel as you read. Young readers will find reading this book similar to experiencing Dreamworks-type animation--without the screen!

This was precious! I just got this book for my library (you know, preparing for future kids and to read with my niece and nephew when they visit) and I had to read it first. It is absolutely adorable and I love it - I'm sure the kids will, too! :-D
Dog is set with the task to babysit 5 cats. Nothing goes as planned, but the cats right their wrongs out of love and devotion to Dog, which keeps him looking good in his owner's eyes. Great book for dog and cat lovers, full color cartoon-like illustrations. Good read aloud.
A bulldog in a tutu, a cat with undie-pants on it's head. What's not to like? Nothing, that's what. After having read this about 3000 times in the past month I can recommend it without reservations :)
Love that the cats cleaned up their mess.. they really loved Dog.
Illustrations.. amazing.
Not wordless, at all, but illustrations tell so much of the story.. this would be fun for a picture-reader, too!

A great author/illustrator pairing! When Dog is left in charge of his family's 5 cats, he has trouble maintaining control. Funny, with precise vocabulary and charming, cartoonish illustrations.
I LOVE this book! It is absolutely adorable! When the family is away Dog is in charge of five cats. Although he has an extensive knowledge of dog commands they don't seem to work on the cats. Hilarity ensues. :)
