Lance attends a pre-school program at an elementary school and they get to go to the library and check out a book every Friday.  This is one that he checked out a few months ago.  I didn't review it at the time but did write down the title to remind myself.  Then he checked it out again this past Friday...yay!

Widget is one of the cutest picture books that I have come across in a while.  When the stray dog Widget comes across a house with a special dog-sized door, he hopes that his days of lonely wandering are over.  Although the lady of the house Mrs. Diggs takes pity on him right from the beginning, she informs Widget that six cats (the girls) live with her. 

Widget looked at the girls.  

He looked at Mrs. Diggs.  

She seemed so nice.  

Widget really wanted to stay.  

"Meow?" said Widget.

What will happen next?  Will Widget and the girls be able to all live together?  Grab you favorite furry animal and find out in Widget.
