Cat Ears on Elizabeth

April 1, 2020

Gr 1-3-When her group of friends all come to school sporting cool cat-ears headbands, Elizabeth knows she must have one too. It's a cat-ears headband emergency! Unfortunately, no one else seems to think so, especially her parents and her brother Justin. Elizabeth tries crafting her own pair from a headband she already has, but it just ends up a disaster of glue and glitter. Then, her grandparents come over with a "just because" gift...a cat-ears headband! Or is it? It looks more like cow ears, but Elizabeth doesn't mind. She looks just great! VERDICT This simple chapter book will help bridge burgeoning readers to more advanced sentences while also instilling concepts of individuality and embracing one's differences.-Amanda C.
