"Everyone is talking about the neighborhood pet show, and Archie can't wait. He knows he is going to enter the cat who lives near his apartment. But when it's time to go, the cat is nowhere to be found. The contest is about to start. What can Archie do?"
Brilliantly painted pictures by Ezra Jack Keats, illustrate an energetic story of how Archie solves his pet show dilemma by keeping his cool and thinking outside the box. The story also touches on being a friend and having compassion for others.
