Reviews
“In cartoonish style, Katz lays traps that always backfire and leave Houndini as top dog. The tide turns with the final attempt, wrapping up the rivalry with a silly twist. Colorful digital illustrations incorporate the story’s humor and include pun-laden articles from the Tabby Times. An entertaining romp about rivalry and friendship.” –Booklist
“Adventures abound in this pun-filled read-aloud that’s sure to appeal to cat and dog lovers alike.” –School Library Journal
