Cat and crow
Lisa Fleming
- Reading
- Try reading the story first, then pause over the photographs and animal facts.
- Themes
- An unlikely animal friendship: Cassie the cat and Moses the crow are presented as unlikely friends, described in the book’s framing as natural enemies who become friends. The framing celebrates the possibility of friendship across that contrast, without establishing a general claim about how cats and crows behave.
- Animal facts alongside the story: The book includes fun facts about cats and crows, as well as real-life photographs of Cassie and Moses at play. These additions provide factual material and visual examples alongside the friendship story.
- Worth knowing
- The book frames the animals as natural enemies who become friends. If that contrast matters to your child, you could note that this is how the story presents these particular animals, not a rule about every cat or crow.
