Apparently, according to the author,  'Dogs are STUPID. The End.'

Dogs, it seems, have very little going for them. Think about it, what good are they; especially when you consider the smell, the fur, the slobber and that thing they do with poo? According to the cat whose opinions are noted here, not much! You know what you get with cats. After all they all look the same, behave the same, and, pretty much, are the same, or are they?

All You Need to Know About Dogs is written by a moggie who knows absolutely that cats are far superior and expects no argument. Unfortunately they haven't quite got all their information straight but will they realise in time that we all need a little help from unexpected circles now and again?

Described as both fact and fiction, author and illustrator Fred Blunt's book is just long enough for a bedtime story. Engaging, brightly illustrated, and fun throughout, it could be read aloud by parents, grandparents, or older siblings, and be visited again and again by children aged between 4 - 6 years old. It has just enough jeopardy for the suggested age group as well as a satisfyingly happy ending.

I was able to read an advanced copy of this thanks to NetGalley and the publishers, Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books/Happy Yak, but the opinions expressed are my own. I enjoyed this and know my younger grandchildren will too, Recommended.

I love this book!

The pictures are great, it's funny, it's truthfull (to a point, yup my dog rolled in cow poo and mud and loves puddles) and the main dog reminds me of my labrador and the cat, my cat.

Fantastic my kids at school will love this one too.

This children's books tackles the age-old battle dog vs cat with humour and style. A cat with a hilarious "resting cat face" offers a sort of presentation about how useless dogs are, but wait until the final twist! It's fun and entertaining with old-school drawings.

Cats vs. Dogs, the never ending battle between two beloved pet types. In this adorable picture book "A. Cat" brings up many excellent points on why dogs are stupid and cats are clearly the superior pet... but are dogs really that bad? Find out in this comical picture book by Fred Blunt

The book was beautifully written. I like how the illustrations look like they are hand drawn. The author made careful word choices that were very impactful. Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it.

This book was utterly adorable. The illustrations were very sweet and in a style that a child could copy and have fun with. I liked that this book managed to tell a great story without having too many words on the page and the pictures mostly told the story. The writing style was very entertaining and I loved how witty and blunt the cat's perspective was.

Overall, even as an adult this book put a smile on my face so I can see younger children really loving this one!

This was super cute. The art was adorable. I loved the perspective of the cat. This would be so fun for a kid who has a cat but is getting a dog.

All you need to know about Dogs is an adorably charming book. It was told from the perspective of a cat, so of course that is both funny and unique, as cats and dogs are mortal enemies. The story had me chuckling throughout, because of the cats opinions on dogs.
The illustrations were really cute and the ending was sweet. Enjoyed reading this book.
