Gentle, warm animal friendship tale. ( )

Cat & Dog is a story about a cat that gets trapped in a van after going in to look for food for her kittens. The kittens are left alone and a stray dog comes around, feels bad about the kittens and keeps the safe. The mother cat returns thanks to the kindness of the van driver and it's reunited with her kittens. The animals want to explore the same way cat did and the van driver helps them accomplish that. I did not enjoy this story very much. I think it has potential but the storyline is weak and I lost interest in the first couple of pages. ( )
