A thoughtful and entertaining story about togetherness and inclusion.
In a divided world of cats and dogs - where dogs only play dog music and cats only play cat music - one little dog chooses to follow the music in his heart, and that means jamming with the cats!

Illustrations evocative of the big city give this tale of rock dogs and jazz cats a marvellously moody appeal. And when cats and dogs come together, who knows what music they'll make? This is a clever story about changing the world, one note at a time. * iNews *
