Summary

In these charming first chapter books for new readers, Cat and Dumpling’ s far-fetched schemes and conflicting ideas wreak warm-hearted slapstick havoc, but always with a happy ending and a reassertion that despite their differences Cat and Dumpling will always be the very best of friends. In Home Sweet Home, Cat and Dumpling meet for the very first time. They’ re both searching for the perfect home and have very different needs. Eventually they stumble across the perfect property— the only problem is, they both want the same flat! Can the pair survive as flatmates, or will their differences just be too much to overcome?
