Literacy Extensions:
- Discuss characteristics of cats with your child. Have then act out those behaviors and characteristics. (i.e. Love That Kitty)
- Extend the Pete the Cat story by having your child come up with additional things for Pete to step in. They then also have to say what color his shoes would turn.
