The Underneath by Kathi Appelt

5.0

From what I've read in other reviews you either love this book or absolutely hate it. I love it! When I first heard that it was a book about a cat and dog, I thought it was going to be really stupid. But there's so much more to it than a survival story. There's a love story, a myth, and everything is told from lots of point of views. I loved the way Kathi Appelt wrote it. It was almost like reading poetry when she talked of the trees and of Grandmother. The imagery was absolutely wonderful as well. It was all very different from anything I've ever read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
