The Story of Diva and Flea 
Miss Jane recommends The Story of Diva and Flea by Mo Willems and Tony DiTerlizzi

From the whimsical mind of Mo Willems and the creative pen of Tony DiTerlizzi comes The Story of Diva and Flea, a tale filled with well...whimsy and creativity. Diva is a small white dog and Flea is her new friend, a large black cat. Theirs is an unlikely friendship that takes them both into unfamiliar territory. It's an imaginative, amusing and charming story and oh...it takes place in Paris! Fun read!
