MY TIDBITS
Friendship is blind to many differences and two cats can prove it.
Duncan and Moses might appear to be as different as different can be, but these cats are the best of friends. When they happen across animals arguing in the park, it's time for them to let their friendship shine.
This is a straight-forward read and super cute. Duncan and Moses are two, wonderful cats, who get along splendidly and have each other's backs. This wholesome relationship drives the read forward and gives the entire thing good vibes. The arguing animals have enough unexpectedness to make readers/listeners smile, and the entire thing radiates goodness and friendship pure. It's an enjoyable read to just pick up and enjoy.
The text is written in rhyme, and this flows smoothly and naturally. It's printed in white on black text-boxes in a slightly larger font, making it easy to spot on the illustrations. This also makes it easier when reading aloud. The text is kept simple and short, making it great for less patient and younger listeners.
The illustrations are bright and bold. Duncan and Moses are portrayed as adorable cats, and the other animals carry individual, quirky flair. There are some proportion issues on several pages, and a bit of a pasted feel, which could have used more care. I doubt listeners will care or notice, though.
I enjoyed this one more than I thought and see it as a great, quick read for group and individual settings.
