description: The differences between cats and dogs have never been funnier! In this hilarious new story from the illustrator of I Don't Want to Be a Frog a little girl really really wants a dog... but gets a cat instead!Look what I got for my birthday! A pet dog! says a little girl holding a... cat? Rocky doesn't listen or obey like all the other dogs. (Because Rocky is a cat.) And Rocky hates her leash and doesn't seem to like other dogs. (Probably because Rocky is a cat.) And rather than play fetch Rocky prefers to... lick between her toes? Ew. Rocky is a bad dog! BUT Rocky doesn't bark and is so cute when she sleeps in sunny spots. Maybe Rocky IS a good dog? (Or you know maybe Rocky is a cat.)Cat lovers and dog lovers alike will howl with laughter at this little girl's willful insistence that her cat is a dog. The hilarious ways in which cats and dogs are different are brilliantly illuminated with each turn of the page and will leave young readers and their grown-ups giggling.
