Senor Malgato, the feline Patriarch of Teresa’s apartment, is shocked when his human brings home a pitbull that needs saving. Reluctant but wise, he handles the situation by teaching his new canine roommate about manners, being a companion to their human, and that a word like “whatever” can have many meanings. This meaningful story teaches children from 4-10 the powerful lesson of animal rescue and the importance of spay/neuter is written in English and Spanish because the animals live in a bilingual household.
Children’s fiction.
