About the Author:
True Kelley has illustrated many books for children, including Stay! Keeper's Story by Lois Lowry. She lives with children's author Steven Lindblom and their daughter, Jada, in Warner, New Hampshire.
From School Library Journal:
Gr 2-4-In contemporary suburbia, fourth-grade Abbie dog-sits for his aunt's Yorkshire terrier. Already picked on by the school bully, he hates the thought of escalated teasing when out in public with a sissy dog. However, bonding begins when he rescues Catullus from being dressed as a doll and, of course, boy and dog are totally attached at book's end when Cat catches a robber and stands up to the bully and his Akita. The tale is sweet, if predictable. Cutesy brand names ("Fabulous Filly" pony toys) are annoying and slang terms ("geek" and "wazzup") will date the conversations. Some unlikely details are distracting, as when spelling-bee words include a number of dog breeds. Kelley's drawings of the pup are precious, but the human characters are less successfully rendered. True dog lovers will enjoy the story, as well as the advice on dog shopping in the afterword.-Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA
