I loved this story andm it had great illustrations! ( )

Archie and his friends were getting ready for the pet show. Archie wanted to take the cat but he cound't find the cat. Where was that cat? Archie looked every where. His friends helped. look. The show was about to start and Archie still coundn't find that cat! His firends had to leave without him. At the pet show, the judges gave out awards. Archie still had not found the cat. Just when the show was almost over Archie ran in with his new pet. It was in a jar. Archie decided to make up his pet. He brought a germ. When the judge was getting ready to give Archie his award, the cat showed up with an old lady. They awarded the old lady an award for Archie's cat. He didn't mind. They gave Archie an award for the quietest pet. He told the old lady to keep the ribbon. The cat went home with Archie.

This book is about a group of children who all enter their pets in a pet show. This would be a great book to read leading up to a time where all students brought their favorite item from home and shared with the other students why it is their favorite. This would be a fun activity and it would allow students to engage in conversation and share with one another. The illustrations in the book are very original and students would like them. ( )

This little boy searched all around for his lost kitten to put in the pet show. He eventually had to give up and go with a different pet. An old lady found his cat and entered it, which did not seem fair but the boy was nice and let her keep the ribbon; which she felt was very special. In the end they all were winners. It is a good book for 2nd or 3rd grades. ( )

This books would be a good introduction to a sharing time (about pets, experiences, etc.). The illustrations are ineteresting, they use different types of media. It also introduces kindness and creative thinking.
