This book was cute. It was about an older cat teaching and raising a younger cat but then the older cat dies and then the younger cat becomes the older cat and the family gets a new kitten and they keep this cycle going. It was sweet but I do not think I would have this in my classroom. It wasn't very interesting and it doesn't look like it would appeal to kids.

Story about two cats at the beginning. One is a big cat and one is a little cat. The big cat shows the little cat everything it needs to know about life and they have a great time! One day the big cat "goes away" and never comes back. It was hard on everyone. One day a little cat comes into the family. And the cycle starts again.

I liked this book, but it was so sad! I'm not sure if I could read this to a younger class without them getting sad or scared. And honestly I might get sad reading it to them! I think this is a really important book that handles loss very well, but I'm not sure if I would choose to read it to my class.

This book is about an older cat who welcomes a younger cat to his every day life. The older cat shows him what to do, where to eat, etc... One day the older cat left and went away and never came back. So the little cat continued to live his daily life, until a new little cat cam around and he showed the new cat the ways of his life.

I would recommend Big Cat Little Cat for a primary classroom, but a classroom that is stable enough to hear a cute story of a cat friendship but later coping with a loss. This book is black and white and full of lots of sun pictures and activities that the cats do together. It is encouraging for kids to be welcoming to a new friends or family member.

a cute story of cat friendship and coping with loss. ( )

Cute story but would not recommend for children who are grieving. ( )
