I cannot believe that it has been
Two years since Edie fell in love with
I Love My Bike!
Brilliantly written by Simon Mole
With beautiful illustrations by Sam Usher
It was a book we read on repeat
For the longest time and now
We are beginning again with …
This is another rollercoaster read aloud
Filled with rhyme and rhythm
With pace and poetic devices
With challenging language
And a whole spectrum of emotion
I Love My Cat is a celebration
Of the love and joy we share
With our pets
And it shows how our hearts hurt
And our minds go into overdrive
When a pet is missing
This is the tale of a little girl
Who loves her cat
She loves everything about her cat
From the tip of their tail
To the way they drink from the sink
The little girl wonders if her cat might be magic
Her mum says the cat is a lazy bones
And her dad explains that the cat’s name
Means freedom and cats are meant to roam free
We love this story
The excitement the little girl shows
As she shares all the things that
She loves about her cat
The story ramps up in tempo
And volume until the little girl
Shouts at the cat for
Causing chaos
The little girl immediately feels bad
And her sadness grows
As Aditi, her cat, is missing
The cat does not come home for dinner
And is still not there at breakfast
The little girl searches for her cat
Her parents help her and comfort her
The little girl has to be patient
And not give up hope
She begins to wonder if perhaps
Her cat is having an adventure
Of if they really are magic after all
The little girl does not give up on her cat
Her Dad is always by her side
Helping her search until at last
Addie-Baddie-Boo-Boos is found
Such a wonderful story
Filled with heart, humour and
A whole lot of imagination
A new firm favourite here
We love this book!
Here is Bea reading the story
As she practises
