Catina wants to be a famous writer, but when her best friend, Houndsley, reads her seventy-four chapter memoir, he finds it tough to be positive! Houndsley and Catina by James Howe is a sweet tale of friendship. Real friends help you discover what you're good at--and give you encouragement when you're down. This story simplistically captures friendship at its finest.Labels: kidlit, love of reading, MG, review
