This book provides a lot of opportunities to ask students questions during a read aloud. The dogs and their “wishes” would keep the kids engaged as well.

This book is about a kitten looking for a place to help. She goes and looks everywhere to rest her head. She tried to sleep with the cows, bunnies, chickens, in an arm chair, a swing, but none of those worked out for her to sleep in. Until finally, she slept at her best friends feet. I wasn’t to sure if she meant her best friend was the owner or the owners slippers because the slippers were kitten slippers. I like this book because of how the author suggests that there is no better place to sleep all sound and safe than by someone you love and are familiar with, your best friend. The illustrator did a fantastic job with the faces of the characters. They all have a cute adorable face that the kids would love to look at it.

A big hit with Hat 14 months. Cats, cows and dogs are his favorite animals right now.

This is a book written by an Oklahoma author. It is about a cat trying to figurea out where he can sleep. He visits animals, chairs, toy boxes but then he realizes that he would rather be sleeping at his best friends feet.
This is a very cute book about animal loyality. I think that many kids do have a favorite pet and they could write about what makes their pet so special to them.

Who could resist these adorable dogs with their letters to Santa? Best part: Wonderful dog pictures. Ages 4-10.
