Customer Reviews

A favorite

I read this book along time ago, and I enjoyed it very much. I lost it for a couple years and i couldnt remember the name; I found it again last night and stayed up and read it,I couldnt put it down!! It is the cutest story, and was pretty exciting, especially when Mewkiss was fighting the rat. If you want a good book that wont take you too long to read i would really recomend this book.

Perfect

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Totally Disgusting. Being an animal lover with many cats and dogs I got a big kick out of the feelings expressed by each animal. I read this book to my students and each day they did not want me to stop. They kept asking for one more chapter. With Bill Wallace, you can't go wrong.

Moving and humourous

My much-worn copy of this poignant yet funny book has sat on my bookshelf for many years now. This is without doubt one of my favourites during my childhood, and I still fondly remember it. The antics of the animals and the point of view are really well-written; Wallace has delved into the book deeply and extracted many little treasures. I was compelled to laugh at every dog vs. cat scene, yet at the end, when the old Allergies died, it was so very sad. I cried.

getting along- like cats and dogs!!!

A courageous kitten named Mew-kiss and a slow but sweet dog named Barkus struggle to overcome their fear and defend their home against rats! The story has its ups and downs, from Mew-kiss's friendship with the elderly neighbor cat, to Barkus's fear of the dark, and this creative pair will have you laughing for hours. The book is adorable, and I reccomend it to all kids.
