This RF book, Green Eyes by Abe Birnbaum is a great addition to your home or school library! It won the Caldecott Honor. It would be perfect for a read aloud in the classroom for younger students(pre-k to 2nd),to talk about different concepts like the seasons or farm life. The story is all about this mischievous little kitten who escapes his box and explores the word(farm) around him. https://www.pre-kpages.com/books-about-seasons-for-preschool/

I haven‘t been on Litsy much lately because I‘ve been experiencing some issues with my phone screen being too sensitive while using the app. I can‘t seem to scroll thru without every single link and every single hashtag launching on every post. Is anyone else experiencing this?

The illustrations are kid-like and fun to follow along with and the story is charming and sweet. I think this is a good book for the animal lovers in any class.

This Caldecott award winning book is written in the perspective of a kitten, who gets older as the story goes along. The theme I picked up form the story is that getting older can be scary, but it comes with similarities to your normal life along with great new things (like being strong enough to climb out of a box!).
