This is a great way to start off a lesson or unit on Hurricane Katrina. It is a story of triumph and friendship as an unlikely pair of Bobbie the dog and Bob Cat the Cat. They were both lost from their owners during Hurricane Katrina. The two stick by each others side to survive and make it to a new home. There is not too much about the actual facts of Hurricane Katrina but the book is really based on a true story! This would get students interested not only because it is the story of two animals but also because it has a great story line. From this book you could build on and begin to read more books that talk about the actual Hurricane in depth.
If you are not sure whether this would be a book for you below is a link to a video that shares the first few pages for you...
