I remember reading about Bob Cat and Bobbi on the Best Friends website just after I came home from Celebration Station. This is a gentle and sweet story to share with my young students when we talk about Hurricane Katrina. I hope more good outcome stories from that time and place will be made into books for young readers.

We brought this home from the library, not realizing that it was a true story. The adults in the house enjoyed it as much as the children. We knew we wanted it in our home library.

Once again, Kirby Larsen along with Mary Nethery has written a story that touches your heart and stays with you. Friendship, through unusual circumstances can overcome almost anything! What a great way to tie in an event in our recent history with a true tale of devotion and determination. If you are an animal lover, you will not be surprised by the ingenuity or miracles of this story.

Kirby Larson and Mary Nethery bring us a completely satisfying story of friendship that reaches across the canine-feline divide and lifts us two-legged critters to a higher plane of existence. We can only hope to achieve the same quality of love and compassion that comes so naturally to Bobbi and Bob Cat. The tale of these two survivors of Hurricane Katrina and its manmade aftermath will lay its paw print on your heart. It might even make you a better person.

I highly recommend this book for friends with and without fur. (I gave one to my friend, Jack the wonder dog, and he enjoyed it tremendously.)
