It has been too long since I've written a blog post. Here you will see the main reason I keep so busy. My daughter, Emma Rebekah, is the joy of my life.
She is now three months old. It has been amazing to see how she has changed and developed during these first few months. It's truly miraculous.
Thinking about moms and children led me to make one of my favorite books
Mama Cat Has Three Kittens by Denise Fleming my "Mid Month Must Read".
The story is ideal for young children because it has a simple plot and only a few words per page. The pictures are fabulous and as children view the pictures and hear the story, they will learn new vocabulary. They will also find the pattern or the repetitive phrase on each page and will enjoy repeating it with you as you read the story aloud.
I created a simple story basket by ordering these adorable beanie baby cats on Amazon. I was able to match the exact colors of the cats with those found in the book. How fun!! Your children or students will LOVE using the kittens to retell the story. It's also a perfect story to act out with your children or students (without props).
No matter how you use the book, it will soon be a favorite!
