Bad Dog
Bad Dog | Mike Boldt
2 posts | 1 read
"Look what I got for my birthday! A pet dog!" says a little girl holding a... cat? Rocky doesn't listen or obey like all the other dogs. (Because Rocky is a cat.) And Rocky hates her leash and doesn't seem to like other dogs. (Probably because Rocky is a cat.) And rather than play fetch, Rocky prefers to... lick between her toes? Ew. Rocky is a bad "dog"! BUT Rocky doesn't bark, and is so cute when she sleeps in sunny spots. Maybe Rocky IS a good dog? (Or, you know, maybe Rocky is a cat.) Cat lovers and dog lovers alike will howl with laughter at this little girl's willful insistence that her cat is a dog. The hilarious ways in which cats and dogs are different are brilliantly illuminated with each turn of the page and will leave young readers and their grown-ups giggling.

Sometimes having my kids doing virtual school means I get to see awesome things. Dude the Eldest's class watched the Forest of Reading Blue Spruce winner announcement this morning (hosted by Ali Hassan, who should host all the things all the time). When Bad Dog was announced as the winner, the whole class erupted in cheers.

So if you're looking for a great read for a 7 year old, the tagged book has the whole hearted approval of these grade 2s!

Bad Dog by Mike Boldt is such a cute F picture book that shows the differences between cats and dogs! When a little girl thinks her cat is a dog, the “dog” is considered bad since the commands she tells it are for dogs, not cats! This light hearted picture book can be used in a CR to improve fluency. UDL 3.3 Guide information processing and visualization. EL 4. Link lesson topic to students prior knowledge.

ValeriaCastaneda23 The link below is a website that had downloadable compare and contrast worksheets that the student could use to compare and contrast cats and dogs! https://www.superteacherworksheets.com/compare-contrast.html #UCFLAE3414SP20 4y
DrSpalding Choral reading could work and it looks like this would be a fun read aloud 4y
