Genre: Fiction

Grade Level: 1-2

Brief Synopsis: This is a story about a cat and dogs close relationship. It shows how two different types of animals get along so well.

Theme/Skill: Relationships/ Language Arts/Compromising and getting along/Friendship

Pre-activity: Have the students brainstorm two types of animals that do not get along. While the students are giving you the examples make sure you list them on the board.

Post-activity: As a class we will create a list of two types of animals that do get a long. After this is done we will compare and contrast the two lists the students came up with.

My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:

I really enjoyed reading this book! I found it to be very useful in a school setting because it shows how different animals that do not enjoy doing the same things can get along so well. The characters have a gentle charm. I feel that it will help in a classroom especially with students that do not have the same interests.
