Lovely, Gentle Story

I remember reading about Bob Cat and Bobbi on the Best Friends website just after I came home from Celebration Station. This is a gentle and sweet story to share with my young students when we talk about Hurricane Katrina. I hope more good outcome stories from that time and place will be made into books for young readers.

Heartwarming true story

We brought this home from the library, not realizing that it was a true story. The adults in the house enjoyed it as much as the children. We knew we wanted it in our home library.

Even without tails...Wagging great story!

Once again, Kirby Larsen along with Mary Nethery has written a story that touches your heart and stays with you. Friendship, through unusual circumstances can overcome almost anything! What a great way to tie in an event in our recent history with a true tale of devotion and determination. If you are an animal lover, you will not be surprised by the ingenuity or miracles of this story.

Pawsitively Tender

Kirby Larson and Mary Nethery bring us a completely satisfying story of friendship that reaches across the canine-feline divide and lifts us two-legged critters to a higher plane of existence. We can only hope to achieve the same quality of love and compassion that comes so naturally to Bobbi and Bob Cat. The tale of these two survivors of Hurricane Katrina and its manmade aftermath will lay its paw print on your heart. It might even make you a better person.

I highly recommend this book for friends with and without fur. (I gave one to my friend, Jack the wonder dog, and he enjoyed it tremendously.)

For pet lovers, it's a bit of a tear jerker!

I was looking for some books for my son and came upon the Two Bobbies purely by accident. I picked it up because I love animals and saw the mention of Hurricane Katrina. As I paged and read through the book, the tears ran down my face. It's a beautiful story and one that both children and parents will love.

My husband wondered what made it so emotional (as he gaped at me crying in the middle of the store!) and I said that it was really just a simple story of friendship that made it special. So many poor animals suffered from Hurricane Katrina. It was nice to read this special story.
