This book tells about the different ways that families in America celebrate the 4th of July. It utilizes bright, simple pictures and descriptive imagery to describe what happens on Independence Day.

children's picture book/poetry. Would work well with older kids learning about haiku/poetry. Would work better with older kids who own cats (some things might need to be explained to people unfamiliar with cat behavior).

Delightful illustrations and verse that capture cat behavior wonderfully. A great story also for kids relating to adopting animals from shelters.

A great introduction to writing Haiku's. After reading this book, I would have children write their own Haiku's, perhaps around their pets at home or pets they wish to have.
