    About this ebook

    CRISIS!

    Dog and Cat find out the family is moving. Dog freaks out. He does NOT want to move. He goes through all the classic stages: denial, anger, bargaining, and depression. Cat tries to get him to acceptance. But Cat is fine—really she is—or is she? Dog and Cat plow through the days until moving. They eat. They nap. They argue. They take care of their owners. But can they figure out how to stop this terrible move? Dog & Cat is told in a series of funny concrete (shape) poems and hilarious conversations. Perfect for any kid, age 9 and up. Or anyone who just wants a fun book.
