Emily Elizabeth and Clifford take in a stray cat while they look for its owner. Clifford is jealous of the kitten and tries to imitate it, resulting in thousands and thousands of dollars of property damage. Is Clifford the regular source of declarations of disaster emergencies in his area? Bad dog.
The story of Clifford's Kitten is a really cute story for kids. It has to be one of my favorite stories because of all the pictures and how they make Clifford so big, and the kitten is so small, so it really is showing the size difference between everyone throughout the story. It shows how Cliford is protecting the kitten throughout the story, but he is jealous because the kitten is taking the attention away from him. Throughout the story, it has really good pictures; it shows how big Clifford really is compared to everyone and everything else, like how they made Clifford stay outside because he is so big.
This book would be good for pre k- k. It teaches students about jealousy and how to be accepting to new friends.
Emily Elizabeth finds a lost kitten that lives with them while its owner is missing. The kitten does typical cat things. When Clifford tries to do them, things go a bit awry. In the end, the owner gets his kitten, but Emily Elizabeth still has Clifford.
