Purrrrr

by Pat Cummings

Book Description

Purrrrr features an African-American boy who tries to entice his lazy cat to join him in various activities. The bold colors and endearing characters will appeal to toddlers, who will recognize many familiar objects (ball, bat, crayons) and will soon be repeating words from the catchy rhyming text.

Come on, lazy kitty, come to Granny's house-- She really needs a kitty cause her house has got a mouse. This kitty won't go to Grannys house, play in the park, or go to the beach. He only wants to sleep, which is just fine at bedtime. For toddlers beginning to speak, here is a poem with a catchy refrain that provides the purrrrrfect opportunity to play with new words and sounds.
