The Story of Diva and Flea by Mo Willems illustrated by Tony DiTerrizzi*

Wow! A chapter book from Mo Willems!
Diva, a petite dog, and Flea, a stray cat, both live in Paris, France but experience totally different worlds.
When they form a friendship, they venture into each other's world and discover contentment and adventure!
A sweet, fun story.
The French words may cause some trouble for beginning/transitional readers but Mr. Willems provides their definition by context clues and direct explanation.  The book is divided into play acts all stated in French (the beginning-Le Debut, the first intermission-Le Premier Entracte etc.)
Make sure you read the author's and illustrator's notes in the back.  It provides how the story originated.
A perfect book to incorporate as studying different countries around the world.  This story mentions some common sights seen in Paris, France.
*Highly recommend.
Strategies: predicting, context clues (inferring)
Engaging, adorable illustrations by Mr. DiTerrizzi.
