Zwei Mädchen verbringen gemeinsam einen Tag in der großen Stadt. Sie haben einen Plan. Nur wird der ständig durchkreuzt: Das Eis schmilzt in der Hitze, es beginnt aus Eimern zu gießen, die Bibliothek macht schon zu. Zum Glück ist die Ältere auf alles vorbereitet. Nichts klappt wie geplant. Am Ende kommt alles anders – besser! Die französisch-amerikanische Autorin Nelly Buchet erzählt aus der Perspektive der Jüngeren, die bewundernd zu dem älteren Mädchen aufblickt. Rachel Katstallers Bilder fangen die Atmosphäre einer modernen Großstadt ein.

Cat and Dog live with their human in a suburban house with a big backyard. Sure, they fight like.... well, cats and dogs, but they're used to one another. Dog-- a different dog-- lives a happy only child life in the city with his dad. He has the bed to himself, he never has to share his toys, and that's the way he likes it. So what happens when the Dog's dad and Cat and Dog's mom move in together? Well, it's chaotic. There's not enough room on the bed, for starters. But as the seasons pass, the three animals become a trio and learn to (mostly) love one another. Just as they're settling into a cozy life as a threesome, along comes..... a baby! This laugh-out-loud picture book, which cleverly uses two repeating words, is sure to strike a chord with kids dealing with the ups-and-downs of settling into a blended family of their own.
