Charlie and the Christmas Kitty

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Diane deGroat. Charlie the ranch dog thinks he has Christmas preparations "well under control"--until an unexpected surprise. The new kitty won't be ignored, but despite his attempts at indifference, Charlie finds a place for it on the ranch. The basset hound's colloquial narration is forced, but the emotive illustrations portray his lackadaisical temperament clashing with Kitty's energy. A Christmas cookie recipe is appended.
