A pair of dogs are arguing about something up in the tree. One dog thinks they saw a turtle, the other is sure it was a squirrel. They each have facts to support their side, but they won't know for sure until it comes out of the tree. 

I knew where this was going on the first page, that it would culminate in a yelling match and then a big reveal, and I was right. Very simple, the pictures are cute, but this is just another book with animals arguing over something ridiculous.
