by Dori Hillestad Butler and illustrated by Kevan Atteberry. Andy has two pets and two houses: a cat, Simon, at his mom’s house, and a dog, Baxter, at his dad’s house. But when Andy’s mom goes on a business trip, Simon must spend a few nights at Andy’s dad’s house. A sleepover with the beast? Simon says, “No, thank you.” Baxter, on the other hand, is sooooo excited to play together. He and Simon can go on walks! Stay up late! Eat liver treats! He can’t wait to finally meet his pen pal in person. What could go wrong? This funny and heartwarming collaboration between is a tribute to the love of a good pet--and the joy found in a new friendship.
