Thanks to Graphic Universe and Netgalley.com for early access to this title.
This is a cute wordless book! I liked the way the story was told - you could either follow each animal's individual adventure, or "read" them all together. Each animal (bird, cat and dog) has a real adventure! I liked the illustrations and the way each animal's story was told in a different color tone. I think kids would really enjoy this book!

A story told in three parts by a bird, cat, and dog. This wordless graphic novel tells the story of three overlapping adventures. Great choice for younger kids just getting started in the graphic novel world.

I like this graphic novel in principle, but it left me wanting. I won't hesitate to recommend this, because the different ways of reading the story are really fun and kid-friendly.

I really liked this book. It's the same story told from three entirely different points of view.I loved that it is a wordless story. loved that you can read it more than one way. I think that this is one of those books that both young children and adults can appreciate for different reasons. I really liked the artist's style of illustration in this book as well.
As a teacher of pre-readers I know how important wordless books are both because there are only pictures and because they invite the reader to come up with a narrative for what is happening in the images on the page. I think that this book works well if you are reading the individual viewpoints of the bird, the dog, or the cat as they have their own adventures. I think it also works well if you read the entire story, combining the viewpoints. I also enjoyed that bird, cat, and dog wander in and out of the other's story viewpoints and affect each others adventures.

While I wasn't a fan of the format of this book (reading across made me confuse the timeline and reading down felt tedious), I really like that it makes the reader consider all points of view of the story. This would be a great conversation starter for empathy.
