This is a short simple book for pre-school and young elementary school children. It has a few good teaching elements - animal adoption, proper eating habits, exercise, friendship even when it is with a stereotyped "enemy".
The illustrations by Brad Davies are simple, colorful and well done.
The writing by the author is easily understood for the young child. It is also an early reader of which can be read by an older sibling to younger ones.
It can be purchased in a large hard backed book with quality pages for durability. Perfect for a group reading book.
My review of this book offers a Five Stars rating.
This book was sent to me by the author for an honest review, of which I have given.
"Bandit and Malcolm are adorable! The story resonated for me because I didn't have a lot of friends when I was a kid and my dog and cat were my best friends."
