When Mr. Mud and his grumpy dog, Fifi, move in upstairs, Jack nearly has to get rid of his sidekick and pet tiger, Lily. Lily, however, foils a robbery at Mr. Mud's apartment and becomes the local hero when she rescues Fifi from the burglar's clutches. Nimbly illustrated with soft colors and elegant line, the well-paced story evokes a bygone era while warmly conveying the value of friendship.
