Widget is the name of a little stray dog. He comes across a very nice looking home, but there are already six cats living with the older lady. The cats don't like dogs so Widget behaves like a cat and they accept him. As an emergency comes up and the cats don't know what to do, Widget barks and gets people's attention. Everyone is okay in the end and finally the cats decide that a dog might not be so bad after all.
The graphics are good in this book, the writing is also very nice. The story line is good and the over all it seems like a well done book. However, it never really got to my boys. They will read it now and then but it is not one of their favorites.
What I liked to do is go over the six cats and count them, count their six beds and their dishes too. But I wonder why it didn't get that popular with us. Perhaps it is because the story elements are dealing with social aspects more than other books do, such as finding a home, living with others and being accepted. I just don't see my boys think about those things very much.
