My Pet Human
My Pet Human | Yasmine Surovec
3 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
From queen cat lady Yasmine Surovec comes a cuddly new chapter book series about a cat in need of a pet human. Oliver is an independent kitty. He has his run of the neighborhood and looks at his animal friends with their fussing humans with pity. But when a freckle-faced girl moves into town, Oliver sees the opportunity to train a human to provide him with a few creature comforts. And if he can help her adjust to her life and make a new friend, that's just all in a day's work. The real surprise comes, however, when Oliver needs Freckles just as much as she needs him. Not a comic book and not a traditional illustrated chapter book, My Pet Human is truly a hybrid of text and art that could only come from the whimsical and brilliant mind of Yasmine Surovec.

Texreader @julesG 🤣 No. She just took advantage of an empty chair. 5y
julesG The cat we had when I grew up, more or less demanded her own chair at the table. If she wasn't allowed one, she'd sit next to the table caterwauling. 5y
Texreader @julesG That‘s hilarious!! 5y
Lmstraubie OMGosh!! One of my cats jumps into my husband's seat at the table whenever he gets up. 😂 5y

Treat joined me for this portion of #24in48, which only makes sense. She‘s got the family well-trained. My Pet Human would make a fun gift for cat lovers, but I can especially see young kids making connections with this book. Surovec touches on pet care, making new friends, & supporting old friends & includes an element of danger/suspense. Kids will also like the author interview in the back. I‘m adding “gigil” to my list of favorite words.

CatLass007 What a handsome kitty! 6y
2BR02B Gorgeous fella! 🐱❤ 6y
RebL @CatLass007 & @2BR02B Thanks! She can be aloof compared to her brother but she certainly makes up for it in softness. 6y

Pickpick

My Pet Human by Surovec Yasmine is a modern fantasy novel that is a Sunshine State Young Readers Award Winner in 2016-2017, I would use it in my classroom for partner reading. It is a funny story about a cat named Oliver who doesn‘t have a home and prefers it that way, until a freckled-face girl moves into his neighborhood and adopts him and changes his independent kitty ways.

ChristinB I would utilize UDL 1.3 offer alternatives for visual information, as it‘s an illustrated novel. I will use ESOL strategy 32, use students‘ pairs for team learning. The website is for the publishing company and it is has digital pictures from the story usmacmillian.com/mypethuman/yasminesurovec/9781250084927/. #ucflae3414f17 6y
DrSpalding I'm adding this one to my stack as well! How wonderful that your resource includes digital pictures from the story. This could be helpful with some of your EL/ESE students. 6y
