The Story of Diva and Flea by: Mo Willems

I picked up this book because I am a big fan of author Mo Willems and I hope he will do more early chapter books with Tony DiTerlizzi as this book was great!

The Story of Diva and Flea is the story of Diva, a dog, and Flea, a cat.  They have both lived in Paris all of their lives.  Diva has never left her patio and Flea has never had a home.  In fact he does not like humans at all.  Diva loves her human and the routine of her life.  Once Diva and Flea become friends they both have new adventures.  Flea learns to trust and Diva learns that life can be very exciting outside of her gate.  They are very different in many ways but they become the best of friends.

I really loved this simple story and I think children who are just beginning to read chapter books will love this story too.

Happy Daily Reading
