Book Analysis

Sign in for personalised guidanceHow the book presents it: The ending presents welcoming the kittens as a warm response to learning why the cat took the sock.
Talk about: How does finding out about the kittens change what the child wants to do?
The illustrations carry much of the action, from the cat’s quick escapes to the characters’ changing expressions. Repeated phrases make the pursuit easy to follow aloud.
The child and dog chase the cat, and the cat jumps into a pond-side scene. The pictures show surprise and urgency, but no serious injury is depicted.
What changes when the child discovers why the cat took the sock, and what would you do if you found an animal with kittens?
Pause at the cat’s escapes and invite your child to predict where she will appear next. At the kitten reveal, discuss how that discovery changes the child’s plan.
