      When highly sensitive friends--a charming cat and a thoughtful dog--need a narrator capable of expressing each nuance of feeling, they have a champion in Peter Pamela Rose. Houndsley's sadness brings drawn-out words and long pauses; Catina's helpful overtures result in long moments of trembling self-doubt. Ebullient friend Bert, whom Rose voices with high-pitched excitement, provides a striking contrast. As the two main characters each solve the problem of bringing joy to the other, Rose judiciously paces the story's rising suspense and excitement. Background sound effects authenticate the adventure.
