Two Bobbies: A True Story of Hurricane Katrina, Friendship, and Survival,   ISBN:9780802797544

Customer Rating: 

This story is as tender as it is remarkable.

It is so moving that had it not had a happy ending, it would be heartbreaking. The simple gouache illustrations are most fitting, and there is an actual photograph as well of the two "best friends", very much resembling the lovely illustrations.

Bobbi and Bob Cat are two of the animals left behind in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. How they met one another and formed such a strong and loving bond is unknown. And there is a surprise element which I will not reveal as I don't want to spoil the surprise for any future reader of this amazing tale.

A great children's story. And a great story for adults as well.

This is one of the best stories of animals left behind in Hurricane Katrina! A wonderful outcome but not without trials for the two "Bobbies" a dog and cat! I read this to daughter at home and she wanted to take it to her Pre-school/Kindergarten class the next day! An additional plus for her and the children was this was based on a real animal stories! The kids loved it! Wonderful book that illustrates the meaning of true friendship and dependencey animals have between them! You can not go wrong with this book!

This is one of those wonderful stories that remains with the reader forever. Maybe it's because the two animal characters are real, maybe it's because the illustrations are magnificent, or maybe it's because the story itself is so captivating and so heart gripping.

I read this book on someone else's recommendation, have read it twice since, and will read it again. This story of bonding, devotion, and love between a dog and a cat is timeless and inspirational.

Excellent Book!!! My daughter & I checked out the book at our library and when we finished the book she said, "Mama, Can you please buy me this book". We've read it 5 more times & I've shared with co-workers too.

I really liked this book. It's a story of two animals, a cat and a dog, who are left behind during Katrina. The story has a twist at the end, and you find out something about the animals that brings them together. The story is heartwarming, and the best part- it's true. The pictures are great as well and the story is written very well. The book covers many topics- abandoned animals, friendship, compassion, hope and Hurricane Katrina. As a teacher, my students love this tale of companionship. It did make me want to cry, so be careful reading it aloud!
