Gray Cat leads the puppy Chomps on a series of messy adventures that land them in trouble with their owners, but when Mama is in danger after her car stalls in the middle of the creek, the pets and their mockingbird friend save the day. Although the prose is somewhat pedestrian, the likable characters will appeal to animal lovers. Black-and-white drawings illustrate the accessible novel.
