This book was a cute, sappy, true story about a cat and dog and Hurricane Katrina. I thought the illustrations were really good. They caught my attention first. They were very realistic, showing the damage from the hurricane like the debris, the stray painting on the houses and broken windows. I liked how the book was based around the cat and dog and very few people were in it. There was no dialouge, which I thought made the book a lot more realistic-just the straight story and the facts. Hurricane Katrina caused a lot of problems within the community with stealing and vandalism and I am glad that the authors didn't add those kind of details in, because that would have made the story too complex and not as happy. At the end of the book it gave a little debriefing about where the two animals are now and a real photograph of the dog and the cat. I thought that was cool because a lot of people are still greatly impacted by the Hurricane aftermath and people that don't live in the area don't understand that people are still getting back on their feet four years later.
