Diva and Flea: A Parisian Tale by Mo Willems and Tony DiTerlizzi

Diva is a tiny dog who lives in a Parisian apartment building. It’s her job to guard the gated courtyard out front. She’s very good at it and runs away yelping whenever people approach. Flea is a ‘flâneur’  – a person (or cat) who wanders around just to see what there is to see. Flea’s wanderings lead him to Diva and they take turns in tentatively enjoying each other’s lifestyle.

Diva and Flea: A Parisian Tale is a perfect book for beginner readers, a wonderful, sweet story about two friends being brave and trying new things.
