In Is There a Dog in This Book?, the beloved trio of picture book cats—Tiny, Moonpie, and Andre—embark on a new adventure filled with surprises and interactive fun. Award-winning illustrator Viviane Schwarz brings her creativity to life as the cats encounter an unexpected furry visitor. The playful narrative invites readers to join the cats in their quest to uncover the source of a peculiar smell, leading them to wonder if a dog might be lurking nearby.

As the story unfolds, the cats express their fears about dogs, which they perceive as loud, smelly, and potentially dangerous. The interactive elements of the book encourage young readers to lift flaps and explore hidden spaces, all while the cats attempt to hide from the mysterious creature. The tension builds as Tiny, Moonpie, and Andre scurry around the house, looking for safe spots to avoid the dog. Each page turn reveals new surprises and adds to the excitement of the chase.

Ultimately, Is There a Dog in This Book? is not just about fear; it also explores themes of friendship and acceptance. As the cats confront their apprehensions, they discover that this new furry friend may not be as scary as they initially thought. The charming illustrations and engaging storyline make this book a delightful read for both cat and dog lovers alike.
