My Review:

The Story of Diva and Flea by Mo Willems is a wonderfully cute and unforgettable tale of discovery. Diva the dog, a flee the streetwise cat form an unlikely friendship forms. My daughter absolutely loves this book. I love that it's a chapter book and is a great way to introduce children to chapter books because they chapters are fairly short and fun to read. The illustrations throughout the book are adorable and go right along with the story. This is a terrific book and would make a perfect gift for children ready to begin reading chapter books!
