A cat and a man discover a symbiotic friendship in one another

[Mandy J. Hoffman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Golden books has a series of books called "Road To Reading" that mark the readng levels by miles. I must say I think it's a cute concept! Today Abby and I read together this one and enjoyed it. I think it's actually a bit harder, but I would rather it be harder than too easy. This is a cute story with funny pictures.
