Have You Seen My Cat?

Have You Seen My Cat? can be used to talk about different cultures. In this book, there is a boy who is looking for his cat. On each page, there are different cultural regions represented, the people on the page are dressed in a certain way and surrounded by specific cultural objects. You can use this book to teach lessons about the specific cultural regions shown, or you could simply use it to talk about differences! You could talk about how the people on the different pages are different and/or similar. Great multicultural read for the classroom! ( )

This very simple story is great for beginning readers. A boy visits different cultures and asks if they have seen his cat. The cat that is shown is not his cat, but shows a variety of different cat species (lion, tiger, bobcat, etc…). In the end, he finds his cat with her kittens.

A little boy's cat is missing, and he embarks on a fantastic round-the-world quest to find his lost pet. Along the way, he meets lots of interesting people and sees many beautiful members of the cat family, including lions and tigers and panthers. But over and over again he has to say "This is not my cat!" until at last he finds the cat he's looking for — who has a delightful surprise for him.

A little boy searches the world for his cat and encounters people of all nationalities along the way. A wonderful way to introduce multiculturalism to preschoolers. ( )

A little boy is on his search for his lost cat. He encounters all sorts of cats while looking for his cat. He also meets many new people from around the world; such as Africans, Indians, Jews, Americans, and many other people. The book is very repetitive which makes it a very simple read for young readers. I would use this book in the classroom to discuss different types of cats, regions around the world, and different racial backgrounds or cultures. ( )
