Katts and doggs are supposed to be sworn enemies, not . . . in LOVE! Gross! 
 
Wilderness adventurers and expert trackers Molly the katt and Oscar the dogg go camping with their families: parents, siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles. One big reunion! It would be fun if there weren't so many rules to follow at the campsite. ATTENTION KATTS AND DOGGS: No crossing the border, or you'll be asked to leave the Eastern Wilderness Reserve. If you're still alive. 
 
Molly and Oscar must outsmart the rule-makers when they discover that their katt and dogg cousins have run away together - for reasons only Molly and Oscar will understand. Now the clever pair must find and warn their cousins before all four of them are in need of a serious rescue mission.

Katt Loves Dogg

What makes Isaiah so unique? 
 
First, his fur is as blue as the sky – which until recently was something he'd never seen, but had read all about. That's right – Isaiah can read, and write. He can also talk to humans... if any of them are willing to listen! 
 
After a dramatic escape from a mysterious laboratory, Isaiah is separated from his 'mischief' (which is the word for a mouse family) and has to use his special skills to survive in the dangerous outdoors, and hopefully find his missing family. But in a world of cruel cats, hungry owls and terrified people, it's hard for a young mouse to make it alone. 
 
When he meets an equally unusual and lonely human girl named Hailey, the two soon learn that true friendship can transcend all barriers.

Word of Mouse

The beloved talking blue mouse is back in the sequel to the acclaimed New York Times bestseller 
 
Free from the lab at last, talking mouse Isaiah lives a picture-perfect life with his human friend, Hailey. But the evil scientists &ndash; and their evil cats &ndash; are hot on his tail. When they mouse-nap his friend Mikayla, it's up to Isaiah and Hailey to rescue her. 
 
Their search takes them on a cross-country adventure, facing foes and making unexpected friends. If they find Mikayla, they might even manage to free Isaiah's siblings and create a happy ending for all of the lab mice. 
 
This endearing and whimsical tale from bestselling author James Patterson is a celebration of bravery and determination in all shapes and sizes.

Molly is a pretty kitty who's destined for fame and fortune as an actress. Her family of well-bred katts thinks all doggs are dirty and disgusting! 
 
But while on family camping trips, Molly and Oscar get hopelessly lost in the dangerous woods. The only way for them to survive is for the mortal enemies to work together... 
 
Yeah, not gonna happen!

Katt vs. Dogg

There are Scaredy Cats everywhere . . . 
it's just that YOU can't see them. 
Only cats can see a Scaredy Cat. 
 
When shelter cats Pasha and Poop move in with their new human family, they find themselves up against a ghostly bully. Scaredy Cat demands they follow his rules or he'll cause all kinds of trouble - knock over lamps, spill kitty litter, and even get them shipped back to the animal shelter! 
 
But Pasha and Poop are stubborn and rebellious. They won't follow the Scaredy Cat's ridiculous rules like all of the other pets on the block. Together, they set out to find the truth behind who the Scaredy Cat really is, and how they can end his mischief-making for good.

The Elephant Girl

I have something very IM-PAW-TANT to tell you... 
 
I was with my mutt mates in the dog park when we saw something MONSTROUS through the trees...I recognized it straight away. It was a huge DINO-ROAR! 
 
Now, I know what you're thinking - dino-roars don't exist anymore, right? WRONG. I spotted one in the flesh, well in the bone...And it smelt tail-waggingly tasty! 
 
I followed its sniff-a-licious scent to the BIGGEST building I've ever seen, and the smells coming from inside were the most dusty, moldy, oldy, dirt-lectable whiffs I've ever wrapped my snout around. 
 
I don't know what the humongous building is, but what I do know is that I just HAVE to get inside. It will be the greatest challenge my pooch pack have ever faced!
