Summary: Widget
Comment: I noticed this book in the bookstore because "Widget" is my son's nickname. I picked it up, read it, laughed out loud, said "Widget is going to love this" and immediately purchased it. It ended up becoming one of my son's ... favorite books. It is a very charming and funny book for both children and adults. It is also a good book to introduce children to the concept of accepting differences and getting along with others. I read this book to the kids at my son's school and they were totally entertained by Widget's antics acting like a cat and trying to fit in.

Summary: Don't miss this one.
Comment: With all the picture-story books out there, it's a delightful surprise when a new one is a original as this. I actually laughed out loud, sitting alone, reading this for the first time. The pictures and text work perfectly together to tell the story of a stray dog who becomes as much like a cat as possible in order to fit in with Mrs. Diggs' houseful of cats (called "the girls"). As if that weren't funny enough, the plot takes an unexpected, even funnier twist. Don't miss this--for ages 2 and up.

Summary: A winning tale with heart and character
Comment: The husband and wife writer and illustrator of "The Pirate's Parrot" team up again for a humorous tale of animals and adventure. Little Widget is a stray dog seeking shelter and food. He finds the home of Miss Diggs and her six cats. Miss Diggs wants him to stay, but the cats hate dogs. To gain acceptance of the cats, Widget acts like a cat, purring and using the litter box. The cats welcome him, but Widget must act like a dog again to find help when Miss Diggs falls ill. The cats are pleased when Widget brings people to help, and ultimately accept him as a dog.
Accented by flowing watercolors of multiple hues and shades, the line-drawn illustrations lend a sense of urgency and action to the story. Widget himself is given many expressions, from fear to fierceness to cuteness. Young children will delight in Widget's attempts at cathood, and the pace of the story will keep preschoolers enthralled at storytime. A winning tale with heart and character.
