Catain Cur and Wonder Flea is an engaging, well-written story that teaches a multitude of values without being heavy-handed or preachy. Young readers will enjoy the illustrations while older ones will be charmed by the story of this unlikely friendship. Well told and well done!

It is a rare children's book that can touch so many senses, and span so many generations. This one is meant to be read aloud with a child on your lap. The illustrations are so charming that you can almost reach out and feel the fur of the dogs, hear them romp and chase through the city streets, and even smell and taste the steamy foam of Ms. Brady's latte. And the rhythm of the delightful poetry adds the right pace to its characters, and literally keeps the story moving. But its true magic is its heart: an intelligent and touching story. It is exactly what every adult yearns for: a means to convey life's hard truths and challenges in a way children can hear and enjoy them. This book is really an experience, that children will want you to repeat -- again and again, as children do -- but that you will also want to.

A fabulously illustrated story about the true meaning of friendship and the importance of inclusion and tolerance. A wonderful story for children. Both of my children loved the book!

My son loves dogs. I came accross it when I was looking for a book about them. Nice book, very good illustrations, I highly suggest it.

Delightful adventure story about the ways we learn to recognize a true friend. Fabulous illustrations bring the readers heart into identifing with the dog and flea.

The most loveable types are often the most unexpected. This sweet book

about a most unusual friendship is funny, wise and moving, and the images

filled with life. Great if you are a dog lover, and if not, it might

convert you.

I am six years old and loved the art, it made me think of real dogs who live in Brooklyn. I also loved how the Authors described Captain Curs feelings. I took it to school and it became one of the most wanted books in my class, everyone likes it because each identify with either Captain Cur, Molly or Wonder Flea for totally different reasons.
