These reissues continue the adventures of the Swedish triplets. In Dog, the girls hope to adopt a runaway watchdog. They take a cat-sitting job in Kittens, only to have their charge go missing. There's some awkwardness in text and artwork, but the identical sisters--always ready for anything--and the old-fashioned setting do have appeal, particularly for those seeking longer easy-to-read books. Review covers these titles: Flick, Ricka, and Dicka and the Little Dog and Flicka, Ricka, Dicka and the Three Kittens.
