Reviews
"It's an off-the-wall and very funny adventure with an entertaining odd-couple friendship at its core."
Publishers Weekly
"Cat and dog lovers alike will laugh their way to the end of this offering... Recommended for all children's comics collections."
School Library Journal
"Boothby's background as a comedy writer shows in the tight timing, clever banter, and over-the-top dialogue, while Matsumoto's archly funny cartoons -- buoyant, colorful artwork filled with speedy action, riotous sight gags, and animated character designs -- perfectly complement the script. Ideal for elementary-school readers, this is a natural choice for anyone who loved Dav Pilkey's Dog Man series or Drew Brockington's Catstronauts books."
