A Cat’s Day

This fun, flip-book story is told from two perspectives.  Lucy, the cat, cannot wait for Luke to leave for school so she can begin her day’s adventures.  She chases squirrels, visits the supermarket for a snack, and stops by the pet store to play with toys.  As she plays in the sock display at the clothing store, she hears her boy.  She rushes home and is happily settled when Boy returns.  On the flip side Luke, the boy, leaves for school with a list of errands to do for his mom after school.  As he learns about lions, he thinks about his sleeping cat.  He stops by the supermarket, the pet store, and the clothing store just after his cat has caused a disturbance.  When he returns home, he curls up on the couch with his lazy cat.  Looking closely at the features in the colorful illustrations, one can find small details indicating the presence of both Luke and Lucy throughout the book.  Conversations and thoughts are written in a different font than the narration.  Fun to read with multiple classroom uses!
