Welcome to Litsy!

4 ⭐ Jeremy, the cat has gotten his first cone. An animal cone is something that keeps them from biting, scratching, and licking themselves after medical appointments. It‘s like a cast on a human. At first, Jeremy doesn‘t like their cone and derides that they‘ll never be the same again. Until they find some good features of their cone and then realize that there are advantages. This book was fun.

“It was a perfect day for a picnic. Until they saw him—a dog without a home.“

When a family discovers a scruffy stray dog during a picnic, they quickly form a bond with him. But when they leave, they can‘t stop thinking about the little dog they named Willy. Will they see him again?

convey emotion with simplicity and grace. Based on a true story, this Caldecott Honor book captures the joys of connecting with animals and highlights the importance of kindness.

This is a story that will always tear at my heart. Jenny does a great job of showing how death and life play roles with animals but as an animal lover myself it‘s hard to imagine what some animals go through. I definitely suggest it as a read but have tissues nearby.

Beautiful and sad true memoir by Allen Say.

I enjoy any books that have animals as the main characters and this one was also really cute with the illustrations of the cats. Overall this book didn't make the biggest impression on me but would still be a nice addition to a classroom library.
