Dog and Cat do not get along. But when they're forced to share a room, they agree to be on their best behavior...until Dog won't stop sniffing. Cat won't stop primping. Dog won't stop howling. Cat won't stop scratching. And when it comes to the litter-box...sharing is not an option!



What will it take to bring Dog and Cat together? Find out in Chris Gall's comic clash that brings out the best (and worst) in two very different pets.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—Starting with illustrations on the endpapers, readers know immediately that they are in for a treat with this picture book. On the same day, Mr. Buttons returns home with a "friendly-looking dog," while Mrs. Buttons find the perfect "smart-looking cat." Clearly, these newcomers are not going to get along, and each one sets out to make the other leave ("Dog rubbed some party balloons on the rug and stuck them to cat. Cat popped them with sharp claws, nearly giving Dog a heart attack. Cat filled Dog's water bowl with hairballs. Dog poured the water over Cat's head during naptime."). The exaggerated traits of both animals are wonderful. Small details, such as the dogs at the animal shelter holding signs saying "I'll be your best friend" and "I want to lick you!" are a hilarious contrast to the cats in the pet store window with signs such as, "And you are?" and "I'm kind of a big deal." The colored-pencil illustrations are remarkable, and the animals' dialogue, expressions, and body language are priceless, as is the funny conclusion. A terrific addition to any friendship or pet storytime.—Brooke Rasche, La Crosse Public Library, WI

"Hilarious....the animals' dialogue, expressions, and body language are priceless, as is the funny conclusion. A terrific addition to any friendship or pet storytime."―School Library Journal

"The stylish illustrations and sly wit on display here will please Gall's fans and likely win him new ones."―Kirkus Reviews

"Text and pictures are layered with humor, and the...art heightens the odd-couple drama with every page turn."―The Horn Book

"The illustrations are beautifully done and make the book appealing to older readers as well."―Library Media Connection

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Chris Gall has been drawing pictures for as long as he can remember. When he was caught doodling on his desk in second grade, his teacher suggested that he might become an artist some day, then made him clean all the desks in the classroom. In seventh grade, Chris won a Read Magazine Young Writers Award, and that inspired him to create stories to go with his art. After graduating from the University of Arizona, Chris became an award-winning, internationally recognized illustrator, and his artwork has been shown in almost every publication in America, including Time, Newsweek, People, Fortune, The New York Times, and The Washington Post.

In 2004, his first picture book, America the Beautiful, became a Publishers Weekly Best Children’s Book of the Year, and his career in children’s publishing began. Since then he has authored and illustrated eleven more books, including the acclaimed Dinotrux, a 2009 Publishers Weekly Best Children’s book, Dog Vs. Cat, Revenge of the Dinotrux, Awesome Dawson, and Substitute Creacher. In August of 2015 Netflix began airing Dinotrux, an animated television series produced by DreamWorks.

Chris has also worked as an adjunct professor of art at the University of Arizona and spent four years as a professional stand-up comedian. He currently lives in Tucson, Arizona.

A well-selected presentation to include the book's size and glossy pages to enchant the little ones
from either camp. Not too small to slip out of moms or dads hands nor is it too large a format to accidentally wallop the child on the head...Illustrations captivate with a non-devisive story-line. All in all Dog vs.Cat makes a cozy companion at bed time or any time. Be prepared however for an addition to your child's Christmas Wish List...Another cuddle toy?

SUCH a fun and entertaining book for kids and adults of all ages. My friend purchased this book for their child and after reading it, I decided that my kids needed it too. Little kids won't really understand most of the jokes, but they'll love looking at the photos anyway.

If my super-smart 2 1/2 year old niece enjoys it, it's got to be good. Here's what her dad had to report a month after I sent it to them:

"..... definitely likes the Dog vs. Cat book. She's picked it as her bedtime story a few times already and she likes examining the pictures of Dog & Cat's room to see the different things they have. I'm sure we'll get to a point pretty soon where Eliza will correct us if we skip a word. She's got some of her favorites memorized."

Saw this book in a bookstore after reading review in New York Times Book Review section. My 2 year old granddaughter loves books but I think she will enjoy this one even more when she is older. My significant other and I just love it! The competition between the dog and cat is superbly drawn and written. I think most adults would enjoy Dog vs. Cat, so get it for yourselves, if not for your kids.
