This is a picture book that is broken up into 3 chapters and is centered around the idea of friendship. The characters are show support for one another in their endeavors of writing books and cooking. This book is one I would use in my classroom in the future.

This short “chapter“ book by James Howe is a great story about trying something to new and overcoming disappointment and fear with the help of great friends. Great read aloud for a class (that is willing to sit through a couple different stories).

This book was published in 2006 and is a heartwarming and humorous story of a friendship. The book is split into three “chapters“ and follows Houdsley and Catina on their journey of wanting to become famous, and their friendship. I would definitely recommend this book, and I will definitely use it in my room.

EB White Read Aloud Award (2007) - This book is a great read. Talks lots about friendship and this is the type of book that you can read to any grade level and I feel like there will ALWAYS be a meaningful message.

This book tells the story of two friends, a dog and a cat. Catina wants to be a writer, and Houndsley wants to be a cook. They both realized they were not too good at what they wanted to do. Catina and Houndsley realized they did not need these talents to become happy but they just needed each others friendship.

Houndsley and Catina written by Jame Howe was published in 2006. This book has won the E.B. White Read Aloud Award, ALA Notable Children's Book, and Kirkus Reviews Best Children's Books. It is a great book about friendship. Great read!

Catina wants to be a famous writer and Houndsley is an excellent cook. These two characters are best friends. This story is about their friendship and the struggles that they face together.

Our bedtime book tonight!
This simple chapter book (with four books in it!) with adorable characters is great for beginner readers.
