Yes, this is a kids’ book, but adults could get some thing out of it and be entertained.

Jerry is a Cocker Spaniel, originally from Connecticut, now living in New York, as his humans (the Professor and wife) have moved there for the Professor’s new job. Jerry is not just a dog, he is also knowledgeable in Philosophy — the subject his Professor lectures on. He is also a bit of a neurotic. Irma is a cat. Not just any cat, but a very street savvy cat. She knows her way around New York and is a cat always looking for adventure. They are joined by Mike Canary, a small bird with a big personality and a bigger heart.

The trio have some strange and exciting adventures, such as staging a burglary to help two people keep their jobs, rescuing a goldfish and becoming involved in life plays on stage. They experience these exciting adventures and illustrate respect, caring about others and the importance of connection.

George Selden is also the author of “The Cricket In Times Square” among other books. I read Cricket earlier this year and both of these books offered a lot to take away. ( )
