Maria GIANFERRARI | BOOKS, Nov 01, 2016

Adventures abound in this pun-filled read-aloud that's sure to appeal to cat and dog lovers alike.-Karen Ginman, BookOps: The New York Public Library and Brooklyn Public Library

Feline Officer Katz challenges Houndini, the mischievous escape artist, to a contest, hoping to capture the elusive dog with one of his clever inventions. However, after the competition ends (with a bang), both feel the need for change, so they decide to take their skills on the road together. Comical digital illustrations and frequent wordplay (e.g. "paw-parazzi") maintain the humor in this satisfying tale.
