Christopher Santoro.
A new pet door gives mutt Max entry into a world in which pets reign supreme. Max catches "Ratzilla," enjoys liver pizza, and visits the Petropolitan Museum of Art before making his way back home. Humorous details in the art, which moves from sepia tones to full color and back again, will occupy readers, but the rhyming text is stilted.
