Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Beginning readers and ESOL students can use the illustrations to develop vocabulary and to tell a story about the cat. The book lends itself to the exploration of symbolism and figurative language. The book may encourage discussion about "home" and what makes a place (or several places) like home to us. They may want to write a poem about home and illustrate it. | |
