The Story of Diva and Flea

The Story of Diva and Flea
by

 Mo Willems and Tony DiTerlizzi

In the city of Paris, a small dog named Diva, and a curious, adventurous cat named Flea, become two unlikely friends. As long as Diva can remember she has lived at 11 Avenue Le Play in Paris, France.

Flea has also lived in Paris for as long as he can remember, but has no fixed address.

This is an entertaining story about a friendship between a large wandering cat and a small house dog who live in two different worlds in the same city.

I was not aware that Mo Willems had written a children's fiction chapter book, I love his books, so I was excited to read it.  This book is targeted for children ages 6-8, and is  a wonderful story about the power of friendship.  The illustrations are delightful, and were done by Tony DiTerlizzi.  It has been said that Mo Willems based this story on an actual cat and dog that he met while in Paris.

The Story of Diva and Flea can be found in the intermediate fiction section of the library.
