| Cookie the dog with Gabby and Bud |
I remember the day that my doggie brother Dakota moved in. I had been happily living with Mom and Dad having fun and wallowing in all of their attention until... BOOM! They surprised me with Dakota.
I wasn't very happy. I hissed at him once. I circled his crate to let him know who was boss and from that moment on we had an "understanding." It's "my way or the highway!" But, this isn't about me, this blog post today is about "No Dogs Allowed" a book that made both me and my Mom grin as wide as a Cheshire kitty!
In "No Dogs Allowed" Bud and Gabby are two kitties who are happy to be living the good life on their own. That is until Cookie the dog happens on the scene.

| Buddy the Crabby Cat! |
Bud is a crabby sort of kitty and he wants no part of Cookie. He tries to have Gabby take part in various activities to shut Cookie out.
Gabby is a nice kitty and wants to share with Cookie.
Bud wants no part of it!
He makes Cookie leave the house! He kicked her out! Suddenly, a big storm pops up. Ohhh nooo! What will happen to Cookie since Bud made her leave?
I can't tell you. You will have to read this colorful and fun book to find out! It is purrfect for human children who are ages 3-7. They will love this book!
Anne Davis not only wrote the book but she did vibrant and FUN illustrations as well! She also has a greeting card company that features a wide assortment of doggies and kitties! You can visit her online at www.annemadecards.com
"No Dogs Allowed" is published by HarperCollins. Click here to purchase it online.
We received no payment for this review. We only received the book to read and review.
This looks so cute. We're a cat only family - for now.
ReplyDeleteOh, it sounds so interesting!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit upset though because it says " NO DOGS ALLOWED".

Cody,
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but this reminds me of an episode of the animation series CatDog - when Dog wanted to keep Roachie (a cockroach) as pet but Cat would have none of it. No similarity right? But can't get it out of my head. purrr....meow!
Aww, what a handsome orange fella!
ReplyDeleteI love the art work! What a cute, cute book. This is definitely one my kids would have loved at that age. I will keep it in mind as a gift. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! =^..^=
ReplyDelete@Carolyn, yes the illustrations are adorable!
ReplyDelete@Angie I love the art work too, it is very endearing. I am going to pass it to my little 2 and a half year old great nephew and his little sister who will be a year old in Nov.
@Rumblepurr/Diego he sure is albeit a crabby one! lol
@Cat-from-Sydney, hmmmm...I have never watched Cat/Dog (believe it or not) but I will take your word for it!

That sounds pretty darn good. We used to have to woofies live here, but the were needed in heaven, so now it is just us cats.

ReplyDeleteSay! I forgot to Thank YOU for the kibble drawing; I went and got my free bag at the GREATEST pet store that I didn't even know existed...long story short, I'm now a regular customer! And the Horde has discovered the joys of rabbit kibble...13 tails UP!
Very cute book!
ReplyDeleteHmmm! I don't think I like the sound of this book, but I have a feeling the human puppies in Mom's class would like it. I'll have to see if she can find it to read to them the next time I visit.
ReplyDeleteBunny

ReplyDeleteWhat a cute kids book Caren. I need to look if the library has this.
ReplyDeleteThe book looks adorable, and I am going to check out her cards now.
ReplyDeleteNO DOGGIES ALOUD HERE!!

ReplyDeletePip, Minnie, Smidgen, and HOllie
That looks like a cute book! Our Mama is collecting books for her future classroom library, and she said she will look for that one. She said she just had a vision of a "pet care" play area in her classroom with stuffed animals, brushes, leashes, etc, plus some books about pets, including that one! :D
ReplyDeleteThat looks totally adorable! I hope there is a happy ending!
ReplyDelete@Les for a second you scared me and I thought that I DID have a typo! lol. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! Great to see you here!
ReplyDelete@Daisy it IS adorable!! Well...it is a children's book so I think we know (hehehe)
@Trixie, Lily and Sammy-Joe I think your Mommy's "vision" is SUPERB! What a great idea!!! A "pet care" play area, really it would be play/learning...what a great idea!!
@Cara N Crew, if you like children's books for the art work then this is one that you really should get! The art work is just adorable!!
@Abigail, tell me how you REALLY feel! MOL! ((((hugs))))
@Kritter Kommunity it is super cute!!
@Diane, not sure if the library has it yet or not because I believe it just came out in May. Not sure though, it is worth checking out!
Cody this book looks great!! All the kitties here live with a doggie but my oldest gal is very attached to her doggie and sleeps next to him to keep warm, they are best of buddies. :) Hope you and your mama are having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a fun book! I always wondered who came first, Cody or Dakota... I should have guessed :)
ReplyDeleteThis book sounds great! I love these illustrations, too!!

ReplyDeleteLove the cover and drawings!
ReplyDelete@Coupon Queen, that is adorable!!
ReplyDelete@The Chair Speaks, me too!
@Spitty, I live with a woofie! It isn't bad! Love, Cody
