Shibu's New Friend

Shibu and Dottie are as different as cats and dogs--but maybe they have more in common than they think in this charming sequel to the international hit Shibu's Tail!

Shibu has a lot of friends and they have a lot in common. It's a lot of fun! But then comes ... Dottie. Dottie is a DOG and she does things a bit differently. She barks instead of purrs. She tears up boxes instead of sitting inside them. She spends a lot of time ... digging?

Shibu isn't sure about a new friend, especially one so different, but he can't help feeling like Dottie's love for life is a lot like his own. Could this new friend actually become his best pal?
