The Dat That Ate Christmas A Humorous and Cautionary Tale in Verse for the Season of Giving

A hapless father tries to please everyone by getting his children a "dat" for Christmas--an animal that is half dog and half cat and that has the schizophrenic personality to prove it--with disastrous and hilarious results. Start a new family tradition by reading aloud this Christmas poem, guaranteed to make your kids smile and to put your holiday woes into perspective.
"A dat can catch house mice and Frisbees
and chase himself barking up trees
and come on long walks (if you bring along his box);
a dat has both hairballs AND fleas."
