I love this book for teaching SEL (Social Emotional Learning). It has so many lessons, that you can take away from it (friendship, acceptance, loyalty, love yourself). The illustrations are so amazing. They are so detailed, which will certainly add to the discussion. I love all the multi syllabic words, as well as the many suffixes, that is used. This book has it all! The lessons are endless." ~ Victoria, Special Education TeacherWhimsical, engaging, and captivating"My students thoroughly enjoyed this book. They were captivated by the pictures and story telling. They were super involved and engaged with the story the whole time I was reading it. Their emotions matched the characters as they went through their ups and downs throughout the story. My students loved this book, and ever since reading out loud with my class, I have had students pick it up in their free time to read/look at it." ~ Carly, 1st Grade TeacherAMAZING BOOK"I read this book to my special ed students and they really were visually stimulated at the art work. It really captures the eye and kept my littles engaged. Their eyes were roaming all over the pages! The story was well written and entertaining as well. However, some of the language used (dumbfounded, frenziedly, awestruck, etc.) was far above my students ability to comprehend so a bit of explaining was needed, but they got it afterwards. I fully recommend this book for elementary students." ~ Mary, Special Education TeacherBeautiful Illustrations"This is a darling book about a cat has 3 paws with white fur and one without. Annabelle goes on a adventure to find his other sock. It has such fun illustrations and it is a fun story. My 2nd graders loved listening to it. It has many higher-level thinking vocabulary words in it. I would highly recommend it!" ~ Joshua, 2nd Grade TeacherFantastic Book with great illustrations and conversation starters"I teach kindergarten and read this book to my students. They were all very intrigued. I personally feel this is a great book K-12, The book has a rich vocabulary throughout. the story is one that kids of all ages can relate to. Its realistic yet fantasy at the same time. The art and illustrations are great. This is a win-win for all children and educators." ~ Suseann, Kindergarten Teacher
