If I were pushed to criticise, I might say that ''A Cat Called Dog'' occasionally lapses into some awkward dialogue. But dialogue is notoriously difficult even when you're writing it for humans. And it's really only occasionally. So we'll move swiftly on from the nitpick.
This is a lovely, sweet, heartwarming book. It will make you happy to read it, regardless of whether you're a cat person or a dog person, or even neither. And in these financially-straitened times, what more could you want? I'd like to read about any further adventures Dog and friends may have - and I'm sure they'll have many. Fingers crossed Jem Vanston will get his writing wheels rolling. We also have a review of [[Santa Goes on Strike by Jem Vanston]].
You might also enjoy [[Fup by Jim Dodge]] or perhaps, and don't be put off by the title! - [[Hate That Cat by Sharon Creech]]. Children will enjoy [[Cat on the Hill by Michael Foreman]].
