The dog is sick, and the cat fills in, but of course, a cat will dig a hole and play fetch in whatever way a cat decides to do so. This is a great, funny read that kindergartners will soon be reading on their own.




















Over the last decade, there has been a trend of reading to animals. Struggling young readers have no social fear when reading to pets! This book pairs nicely with this practice. Max is a brat of a cat, but his boy figures out how to spend meaningful time with Max.







Hey family, let's get some chores done! Only--sweep the dishes? Huh? The cat keeps scrambling our list! This funny one will be a favorite.













How does Atticus Caticus spend a day? With rhythm and rhymes and an energetic boy. This is a read-aloud for Pre-K and K, but if you're a rhythm lover, read forever and make your own rhymes.






This will be another funny repeater. What could a cat find to complain about? A lot, actually. Haha. Maybe you and your little turkeys can relate? 














If you've met "bad talking" Skippyjon Jones, you love this "Skippito Friskito" who fears no "banditos." Another sassy kitty. Another favorite.













This is an easy read repeater great for your developing reader to read solo. 














Splat means well, but he struggles to get it right. Haha. When he brings Seymour, his pet mouse, in his lunchbox to school, Seymour escapes! Has your kid snuck a toy to school? Everyone can relate to cutie Splat and his antics.









Begin this one with babies, and they'll love counting wacky cats through kindergarten. If you want to continue the evening post-bedtime with a cat stacking game, check out this one.














What do cats do while their children sleep? These two cats engage in sleepy adventures, lulling your little one to bed.













These kitties are opposites and can be good friends.













I love the illustrations in this book --which is a study in perspective. How does a cat look from the POV of a fly? 









Especially if you have a cat and a dog in the house, this is a great fit. If you're working on teaching kids opposites, this book illustrates it well. 







This is a basic color review book you can begin with babies. Illustrations are lovely.














Sweet book to start a discussion about the loss of a pet, love, and grief.















Pineapple is doing fine when a new kitty enters the picture. Will they be friends?











This is a fun addition to your collection if you've enjoyed Numeroff's other "If You Give" books. Some suggest keeping a few on hand as part of a birthday gift.










This is another about love and loss. Sweet kitties live a good life and then depart over the rainbow bridge.












Cat tail or cat tale? This is a silly collection of homonyms.












Archie says "Hi" to a cat, and his whole day changes. Here's a gentle story of a cat who adopts a boy.
