Cleo the Cat's relationship with the new puppy Caspar has a rocky start, but by the end of the day the two of them are playmates and a friendship has begun. This new addition to the popular Cleo series encourages children to overcome initial worries about someone new, and to try to get along with others. The simple rhyming text promotes early reading, and Caroline Mockford's bold, striking colors and distinctive style have become a favorite with readers of all ages.
