Meet some cute kitties in this book of cat photos. Featuring a short sentence beneath each full-color photo, young children and cat fans everywhere will enjoy this little book.
It’s been years since I’ve had a cat in the house, but don’t let that fool you — I’m a cat lady, through and through. Since age five, I’ve been blessed with kittens that I’ve chosen by hand, strays that adopted me, and a handful of other feline friends I cohabitated with, to varying degrees of affection and success. The cats I’ve loved have been impudent, sneaky, defiant, cuddly, frisky, fierce, lazy, and sometimes downright bad — but I’ve loved them all the same. And since so many others — and so many authors — feel similarly, there’s a whole host of books built around the feline species for us and our kids to enjoy.
For the budding feline-o-files in your life, here are some children’s books that are, dare I say, fantastic. For cat-lovers from birth to age 12.
Used as a jumpstart for interaction, Discover Series Picture Books are a great way to introduce new images, words, and ideas to babies and toddlers. Spanish Discover Series books feature Spanish words to introduce language learners to new vocabulary. Each page features a professionally photographed object with a simple title beneath it.
Learning Spanish does not mean abandoning English, but rather adding a second language. There are numerous benefits, according to Nancy Rhodes, Director of foreign-language education at the Center for Applied Linguistics in Washington, D.C.: “In our increasingly global world, parents realize that their kids will benefit from knowing more than one language. There’s definitely been a grassroots push for more bilingual education in preschools.”
Exposing your child to a second language provides a number of benefits:
Learn About Other Cultures. Modern humans live in a small, interconnected world. Events in Beijing, Brussels, and Bogota can affect Americans living in Boston as easily as events occurring in Atlanta or Detroit. Speaking a foreign language opens doors to understanding, and opportunity beyond physical borders or long distances.
Develop Creative Thinking Skills. One study suggests that the brain functions of children who speak two languages stay sharper as they age by keeping the mind active in a manner similar to puzzles and games. Children who speak two or more languages show a heightened capacity to focus, ignore irrelevant information, multitask, and communicate beyond that of monolingual children.
