In Cattown, a cat couple is ready to welcome a kitten. Instead, their baby is Flix: wrinkly, wagging, and unmistakably a dog.
Flix grows up between two worlds. He learns cat habits at home and dog ways from others, discovering that he can belong to more than one community at once. But the cats and dogs around him do not always know what to do with someone who crosses their carefully guarded lines.
Tomi Ungerer’s Flix is funny, strange, and thoughtful, using cats and dogs to explore difference, prejudice, and mutual respect. For young readers, it offers a lively animal story with a deeper question underneath: how do you make room for someone who does not fit the usual rules?
