Little Bo in Italy: The Continued Adventures of Bonnie Boadicea (Julie Andrews Collection)
In this sequel to Little Bo in France (2002), Bo the cat and her master, Billy, who are working as crew aboard an English lord�s yacht, travel across the Mediterranean to visit Pisa and Rome. Along the way, they are reunited with long-lost feline relatives, take part in a circus act, become embroiled in a Colosseum cat fight, and interact with some suspicious-looking fellows at the British embassy. The simple, progressive plot includes manageable conflict, stock characters, and frequent dialogue interspersed with Italian and French phrases, and the full-color artwork extends the book�s feel as an old-fashioned classic. Grades 1-3. --Andrew Medlar
