SO CUTE! I loved the art style and the story. If you love cats or dogs you will love this book

Buddy and Chester are a lot like brothers and sisters...They fight and fight and fight when together, but miss each other when apart. The illustrations are very colorful and cute.

cutest book we've read in a long time.

Chester and Buddy get along like, well, cats and dogs. One day Chester decides he's been tormented enough, and slips away through the cat door. Suddenly the house seems very empty. Buddy decides to follow his frenemy into the night, and convince Chester to come home.

With cute illustrations by Nicola Slater. I particularly liked the animals' facial expressions.

“It was about cats and one dog and she was worried and she didn’t know how to find all of them, and it’s like how to learn how to be not worried, like help friends, and like not be worried anymore.”
