This week we are reading a fun book titled What Will Fat Cat Sit On? by Jan Thomas.


What will Fat Cat sit on?  The cow?  The cat? THE DOG?



Hmmmm, none of the animals want Fat Cat to sit on them.  Some of them look scared, surprised, or mad. The mouse has a good solution to the problem.  Read the book to find out!

This book is great for negation.  "Fat Cat will NOT sit on the dog." There are a lot of opportunities to talk about what Fat Cat will NOT sit ON.

After we read the book, everyone used a puppet to talk about sitting ON.  The puppets sat on our heads, our feet, our noses, our arms, our knees. We took turns verbalizing WHERE the puppets were sitting.  Finally the puppets sat ON the floor so we could go to Small Group.

Thanks, Jan Thomas, for creating such a fun book!
