Story Time: Books About Dogs & Cats

Since we were talking about dogs and cats last week, I filled our book basket with books about them.We had some old favorites from our collection and some new books we found at the library.

One such old favorite was My Cat Copies Me by Yoon-duck Kwon. It’s a story about a little girl whose cat follows her around every day doing whatever she does. One day, the little girl thought it would be fun to follow her cat around instead. She spends the day learning how her cat sees the world. It’s a perfect book for any child with a beloved pet cat.

Another fun book we found at the library was The Dog Who Cried Wolf by Keiko Kasza.It tells the story of a dog named Moka who lives with a little girl named Michelle. One day, after Michelle read him a book about wolves, he decided he wanted to live like a wolf. He runs away from home and has a grand time… that is, until he encounters a real wolf (don’t worry, nothing scary happens). This is a fun book about a dog who was just a little bit naughty and a little girl who loves him very much.
