Gruffy's New Sister (English and Spanish Edition)

GRUFFY’S NEW SISTER is a 40-page English/Spanish bilingual story for children ages 4 to the young-at-heart adult. On the surface, this is an irresistible story about the proverbial love-hate relationship between cats and dogs, but it offers a deeper message as it deals with the archetypal sibling rivalry issues that arise when a new baby comes into the house. The story is told through the perspective of Gruffy, a two-year old “only dog” who experiences both overwhelming curiosity and extreme jealousy when his mom and dad decide to take a stray kitten into their house. As the days pass and Gruffy’s jealousy heightens, he rigs up a humorous plan to get the cat OUT of his house so he can have his life back the way it used to be. His plan works to perfection, but Gruffy soon realizes things can be more fun with his new baby sister, Kitty, around. The story ends with Gruffy’s major change of heart towards Kitty as she faces a terrifying run in and Gruffy comes to her rescue.
