Have you ever set out to accomplish something, but wound up on a completely different avenue? Then in the end you discovered that what you finally did have was much better than what you would have had. This is what happened with Cleo the Cat and Pogo the Dog in the story, Cleo’s Treasure Hunt. No, they did not discover a chest filled with gold and silver, but in the end what they did discover became their most valued treasure - something that brought them joy, fun, and friendship.
This first story is where their notorious game is invented and sets the premise for all other stories written for the series. Cleo the Cat, who is often overly confident, gets her and Pogo the Dog into trouble. But through her cleverness and Pogo’s natural doggy talents they always manage to find a way out of their troubles. And often their friends Wool and Bell the Rabbits will help come to their rescue. But depending on the story, both parties end up helping each other at some time or another.
These stories are about friendship, determination, courage, and believing in oneself. Often Pogo the Dog is not quit sure whether he has the ability to do something, but Cleo the Cat encourages Pogo and he finds new courage and discovers that he is more capable than what he thought. The Cleo the Cat series is written to encourage positive friendships and to believe in oneself. If you believe you can achieve something, you will achieve it.
