Mr. Hacker does not like many parts of the city anymore, so he decides that he is going to move to the country where he does not have to deal with the trash on the ground, and loud ruckus of his neighborhood. Once Mr. Hacker is in the country he sees that it is so quiet. He ends up feeding and becoming friends with the cat and dog that are always coming to his house for food. This book is so sweet because it does not have much conflict in it, but it is a real struggle for Mr. Hacker when he wants each of the animals to eat their own foods. This book is great and it gives some insight into what elderly people who have no job and simply live their lives at home do all day. ( )
