Forget the kids...I loved this book!!!
I don't have enough words to describe how happy this book made me. The authors ability to successfully rhyme in both English and Spanish while making sure the translation was precise, has me in total awe! I'm also bilingual, but speaking Spanish has always held a dear, warm place in my heart. Add to that the fun whimsical story with both a great message and a happy ending just made my time reading this a great experience. The characters Coco and Milly are endearing and the illustrations are great for young kids to follow along. I highly recommend this story for parents, teachers and young readers alike.

Milly & Coco is an adorable story of a little mouse named Milly who lives in a house, when one day a new pet cat arrives called Coco. When Milly looks out of her little mousehole for food, she always sees Coco eating something like tails, so Milly is always scared to go outside. She thinks that Coco will eat her as her mom used to read stories to her and her brother about cats who love to eat mice.
This humorous story follows an unexpected course, in which we see Milly bravely face her fears. She learns that not everything is what it seems, and we should never judge someone just because of how they look or based on our assumptions.
Written in bilingual text (Spanish and English), the author has cleverly managed to rhyme the text in both languages. There are key words highlighted to help the reader learn vocabulary and the rhymes are a great way to ensure the right pronunciation. The colorful illustrations of Milly and Coco make this gorgeous book an incredible learning journey for kids.
We highly recommend this cute story: relatable for everyone, as we all assume so many things and misunderstand them. An enjoyable read that teaches children about love, kindness, friendship, positive behavior, and also helps them to learn a different language.
Perfect for 3+

Absolutely adorable!
Warning: specific book contents mentioned. Don't read if this is an issue.
Rule state cats and mice are mortal enemies, but what if they weren't. That's precisely what occurs in this story.
This story talks about what Coco likes to eat. Fyi, it's not what you're expecting.
There's also a brief spelling \ reading lesson: difference between mouse and mousse.
Great book!

Really Cute And Funny
Hey misunderstandings happen… I think this is pretty deep actually things aren’t always as they seem never judge things at first glance… Get to know someone before you make snap judgments. On top of that it was a nice twist on an old cat and mouse cartoon dynamic. This is seriously my favorite children’s book so far from an independent author. I love the cartoons as well/illustrations… Highly recommended

Loved it!
My granddaughter loved this story! Two unlikely friends are Milly and Coco. Milly just expected that all cats eat mice so she was afraid of Coco. Bravely, Milly helped the intimidating Cat and found a friend. The books message about not judging someone unless you get to know them is perfect for young readers.

Cat & Mouse
This is a superb story about a mouse scared to come out of his hole because he fears that he will be eaten by a cat. The mouse finally comes out and encounters the cat. I love this story because it deals with overcoming fear/anxiety, bravery, trust, friendship, and making presumptions that may or may not be true. A very fun read for children as well ad adults!

It’s Not Always What It Seems
This is the cutest rhyming and bilingual book that clearly shows that all is not what it appears to be. It teaches that one should know all of the facts and avoid making assumptions upfront. It will save a lot of wasted energy and time!

Adorable read
This is such a cute story about a mouse who is terrified of the house cat. The mouse jumps to conclusions about the poor cat.
I love the fact that this book is bilingual so young children can hopefully learn a second language. And the illustrations are absolutely adorable.
Perfect story for any young child.

Friendships you least expect
A wonderful rhyming, rhythmic, bilingual story of a little mouse that naturally worries about the cat in the house. An adorable read that teaches children about friendships and kindness. I love the bilingualism, where children can learn English or Spanish while enjoying this absolutely sweet story.

Cat and mouse!
A sweet story that in two different languages, a great way to learn reading and teach a different language. Coco and Millie were adorable characters with a good message that friendship is important!

Great story
This is a great story for kids . It shows how misconception can be achieved and how great friendships can grow if we are willing to take a chance.
