The arrival of Rose, a kitten bought as a friend for Pinkerton, a Great Dane puppy, leads to an identity crisis for them both. Rose is convinced she's a dog and terrorises poor Pinkerton who, in turn, takes on the role of a kitten with highly uncomfortable consequences for their family. But thankfully everything is sorted out after a chaotic visit to the pet show. There's lots to take in and enjoy in Kellogg's detailed illustrations. A book very much for solo reading.
