This is an excellent book to read to the very young. They will love Rocky the dog who has just moved into a new house where there are a couple of bratty kids and five mean kitty-cats. The kids chase our cute dog and the cats are mean to him. They take his food and his best sleeping bed. Rocky has his day, though, when the brats dress the cats up in human clothing and Rocky comes to their rescue. In the end, Rocky has become a good friend to the cats and they take good care of him.

Lots of cute and colorful pictures in this delightful children's book to enjoy with your youngsters.
