I picked this book up at the library book sale for my kids since we already own another D&K book that they really enjoyed. I didn't like this as much as the other one I own but the kids still liked it. They did think Kate was a bit mean

Digby the dog and Kate the cat are friends who appear to have little in common. Even though this is a beginning reader/early chapter book in the late 1990s, this would be a good fit for a classroom or home collection.

This is a very interesting book for young children and beginning readers. It includes a lot of dialogue and short sentences that eases comprehension; yet, it is interesting enough to catch the reader’s attention. The book includes many stories narrating the lives of two friends and their arguments when deciding which games to play. The book also includes bright pictures that are sure to make every reader smile:)

EASY READER: The relationship between the level headed Digby and the enthusiastic Kate is funny and intertaining. I like how this book has chapters and the perfect amount of descriptive words and dialouge.

MCL. I liked the part when they played checkers.

I didnt find this book real interesting but it did do a good job on talking about decision making. I wouldnt use this book as a read aloud but i would have it my classroom.
