Opening sentence
And bad turned to worse. It defied belief. That kitten got much more attention then Keith.
'Keith and the Kitten' is a quirky little story about a little chihuahua that is just a little too big for his boots. Like a real life chihuahua, Keith has a big dog demeanour and thinks his mama belongs only to him. Life was great for Keith until a new furry family member moved in. This story has a neat little plot that will make you laugh. It will relate well to anyone who has introduced a new pet to their family. As we all know, cats and dogs do not always get along. The Illustrations are bold and cartoon like with attention to fur. It is easy to read, with a mixture of fonts throughout to capture the readers attention. An enjoyable story.
