Two Bobbies: a True Story of HUrricane Katrina, Friendship and Survival, by Kirby Larson and Mary Nethery, illustrated by Jean Cassels, Walker and Co., 2008, ISBN 0-8027-9754-7
For anyone who likes pet stories, this is a double whammy! There's a dog and a cat. And they take care of each other. Through a hurricane! And that's not all...but I won't spoil it. The book is dedicated to "All the pet rescue volunteers from across the United States who lovingly gave of their time and resources after Hurricane Katrina, and especially the good folks at Best Friends Animal Society." So, unlike most dog stories, this one ends on a happy note, but will still make you cry!

Look for this book on the Learning to Give website. Lesson plans and other ideas for teaching children about kindness and giving. Here's the link on that site for Two Bobbies.

Thank you so much for this lovely review! Bobbie and Bob Cat couldn't have survived without one another and I couldn't have written this book without my co-author, Mary Nethery. My name is first for alphabetical reasons but Mary's should be because she found the story.
We found we liked collaborating so much, we wrote another book together which you might like, called Nubs: The True Story of a Mutt, a Marine and a Miracle.
