Like every other children's book. Nothing special, not terrible.

Sparkle is a cat, who acts like a dog, so much so that her owner, Ben, often tells her so. Snowflake is a dog, who wants to be a cat, since he doesn't like doing "doggy" things. They are best friends.
----------------------
When Snowflake awakes and cannot find Sparkle, he knows that she is out in the snow, so he goes looking for her. He searches everywhere, but cannot find her. He returns back to his own yard, and finds Sparkle stuck in a tree. With Snowflake's help, Sparkle is returned to the safety of their home.

A really cute book. I read it years ago when I was really little and it was the first book I had ever read on my own. I was thrilled and went to go tell my parents. It taught about friendship and love. Very, very cute. 4/5 stars.
