Did you know? A Mommy Cat is called a Queen A Daddy Cat is called a Tomcat A Baby Cat is called a Kitten Learning should be fun! My goal is for the child to have fun learning to count from 1 to 20. I also wanted both the child and the adult reader to have even more fun learning about families of animals. The book also illustrates the love that exits between the baby animal and the mother animal.
For this book, we return to learning the Alphabet. Follow along as we use the letters of the Alphabet to talk about what values members of a family should possess to remain a close, loving unit. We are all very different from one another, in our looks and our likes but we are tremendously close to one another. For the letter C, we have close knit. For the letter W, we have warmth. Using teddy bears to illustrate the family values that are needed to keep a family happy and together, this book will bring delight to all young learners. Happy reading!!!!!

Jojo is prepping for an exciting night; it’s time for the bat count! Bats have always been a welcome presence during the summers in the family barn. But over the years, the numbers have dwindled as many bats in the area caught white-nose syndrome.
