My Big Dog

by Janet Stevens and Susie Stevens Crummel
This is a story about what happened at Janet's house when Violet the dog came to live with and Merlin the cat.Merlin was not very excited, as you might expect. After all, it was his house!

Other Information:

The arrival of a big-hearted, dopey golden retriever puppy disrupts a reigning cat's domain in sister collaborators Stevens (Tops & Bottoms) and Crummel's irresistible tale told from the feline's point of view... Stevens effectively uses these one-page portraits to convey the cat's internal life through its whiskered disgruntled expressions, uneven ears and lifeless toy mouse, while depicting Merl's interaction with Violet in successive energetic spot drawings... Publishers Weekly

In the few scenes with people, the humans are pictured in photographic gray, creating an intriguing and visually arresting juxtaposition to the splashy, colorful animal world... School Library Journal
