Hondo the dog has a fun day at the beach while Fabian the cat stays home. " Wake up, Hondo. Time to go!" Hondo will have an adventure. Fabian will stay home.

A dog named Hondo and his friend Fred are going to the beach for a day of excitement. Fabian the cat is left behind at home to play with the baby. Who will cause more trouble? And who will have more fun? Peter McCarty's exquisite illustrations and understated wit turn an ordinary day in the lives of two pets into a rare delight.

这是一本描写两个好朋友日常生活的图画书，故事简短，文句简洁，是个有意思、有冲突，却又不失温馨的精彩故事。因为这两个主角虽然同样是圆滚滚胖嘟嘟的，同样受主人宠爱，却有截然不同的生活习性。作者用画面取代文字，尽量不用言语去表达，而是运用画面呈现一种柏拉图式理想的事物，引导读者从作者架构出的蛛丝马迹中去猜测故事情节的发展。
