Book Reviews

Two Bobbies: A True Story of Hurricane Katrina, Friendship, and Survival
by Kirby Larson, Jean Cassels and Mary Nethery

I have to confess - I'm not an animal lover. But I loved this book about two friends (Bobbi and Bob Cat) who happen to be animals and who support each other during what is probably the worst natural disaster this country has ever experienced. Lovely, inspiring story about two friends who have to rely on each other for survival. Excellent illustrations!


Do You Know Which Ones Will Grow?
by Susan A. Shea and Tom Slaughter

A beautiful rhyming book that asks kids and poses the question, does it grow in a silly way?, that will make them laugh (i.e. If a duckling grows and becomes a duck, can a car grow and...become a truck?) Very cute cut-out style illustrations and lift-the-flaps make this a fun book for preschoolers!
