Felipe the cat
and Claudette the dog wait to be adopted. All the other cats and dogs that come
through the adoption center get taken right away. Felipe doesn’t think about
why he might not get adopted, but he is sure why Claudette won’t. She is a mess
of a dog, completely out of control. Much to his shock, one day, Claudette is
finally adopted. Felipe realizes that life is not quite the same without his
unruly companion. Features extra large bright illustrations.
I think readers
would enjoy this book. The cover is appealing and bright. The pages are large enough
to share with a group. The story itself asks the reader to look at their own
faults, rather than always criticize others. It also asks the reader to appreciate
others for who they are. While its kind of sad at times, it does offer hope and
a joyful conclusion.
