I liked the premis and the message of the book but really did not feel the story was very original.

BirdCatDog was unique and fun. I liked how the colors helped you to read the story. I didn’t like that it differed from the usual graphic novel format but it didn’t distract me from the story.

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.
