Felippe and Claudette

Author: Mark Teague

Opposites attract is the theme of many romantic comedies and Teague applies this time to an unlikely friendship between a cat and a dog whoa re waiting to be adopted at their local shelter. Felipe is the snooty, proper cat and Claudette is the dirty, rambunctious dog. They dont get adopted even after multiple adoption events. Then one of them gets to go to a permanent home and what happens to their bond is the plot.  We have an adopted dog and the girls have been asking us for a cat so the book went down very well with our five year old. This is a very simple book with adequate images to convey the mood.

I hate to preach from this blog but considering the animals that are available for adoption, always consider adopting pets rather than buying them from a breeder.
