"Get that thing out of here!" Tucker shouted.



Tucker Mouse was waiting impatiently in the drainpipe in the Times Square subway station where he and his friend, Harry Cat, made their home.  And when Harry finally came home, he was dragging with him what looked like a dirty dish mop.  It was a puppy.



"It's staying for supper?" asked Tucker incredulously.



Huppy was to stay a good deal longer than that, and Tucker and Harry were kept busy seeing to the needs of their new pet.  As their fondness for Huppy grew, so did the dog, until the day came when he no longer fitted into the drainpipe.  A new home had to be found for him-but where?  Surely not with Max, leader of the Bryant Park pack of strays!  If only Miss Catherine, the high-toned Siamese cat of Mr. Smedley, the music teacher, could be persuaded to accept an addition to the family . ..

Covered in vomit!
The pages in the (way overpriced in my opinion) book that I received have what appears to be vomit on them.

I like that he joined a gang and learned a lesson. Lots of drama with characters acting overly dramatic. Lulu was a hoot. Really good book in this series. My favorite was when the puppy thought a log was a stick. Good for ages 7-12

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best entry in the "Cricket" series
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2017

I've been reading the Cricket series to my daughter. She loved the first two, Cricket in Times Square and Tucker's Countryside. We've also read Harry Kitten and Tucker Mouse, and Chester's Pigeon Ride. But, Harry Cat's Pet Puppy, is the only one so far that she hasn't wanted me to finish. She said it was boring. But for me, what I didn't like is it lacked the warmth and sweetness of the other books- Harry and Tucker spend a lot of this one mad at each other and, frankly, being kind of rude to each other. On the plus side, it still has the delightful sense of a fully imagined world, getting to experience life as a mouse and cat... It's got all the vivid imagination of the others we've read..and I certainly like the complexity of their relationship... It's just missing that magical something, and my personal feeling is it's the warmth and sweetness.
