From the creator of Blue's Clues...

A mysterious thief is stealing from the Lee family household and bakery and it’s up to little puppy Tako to catch the culprit. Tako succeeds in exposing Allie, a feisty cat, but when she gets thrown out of the house Tako begins to have second thoughts about the consequences of his actions. Tako may be the only one who can uncover the truth, but to do so he will have to fight the vicious river rats and learn there may be more to the mischievous cat than what meets the eye.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

K-Gr 2—Tako is a good dog who loves adventure and his family, so when a thief starts stealing various items around the house, Tako takes it upon himself to find the culprit. The dog quickly tracks down the suspect, a homeless alley cat, and quickly chases her away. Reluctantly, Tako sees the world through the eyes of the thief, learning to be compassionate for the less fortunate feline. The format is rather interesting; it combines the simple word choice of an advanced easy reader with the quantity of illustrations of a picture book and the length and arching narrative of a junior chapter book. That may limit the potential audience, since this offering's length makes it difficult to use for storytime and it's too visual for a read-aloud. But it will certainly serve as a great bridge between easy readers and beginning chapter books and perhaps as a way for reluctant readers to start using easy readers. Olson's illustrations are soft and childlike, which adds to the empathetic tone of the piece. VERDICT A strong addition for most collections.—Peter Blenski, Greenfield Public Library, WI

Review

"This long-form picture book offers a lengthier story to youngsters who might not be ready for chapter books. Though over 100 pages, water-color illustrations cover each one and keep the story moving. The result is a sweet account of friendship and adventure that will please kids for whom one picture book is never enough." —Booklist

“It’s the stories that matter . . . [kids] want to think, they want to expand their mind, they want to understand the world around them. They do that through character and story . . . In [The Good Dog and the Bad Cat], there’s a question of: are your first impressions of somebody else right or wrong and if someone does something bad to you, is that the end of that person? Or can things change? They are open-ended questions, because I always want to press kids to think for themselves.” —Todd Kessler, author, from his interview with Casual Muse entitled Kids Don’t Have a Short Attention Span
