My Teacher Is a Cat

All the kids are anxious to see what their substitute teacher, Miss Minaloushe, is like. Imagine their surprise when they find out she’s a cat! She sits on the teacher’s desk and talks like a human. The kids try to play the usual tricks that all substitute teachers know. But Miss Minaloushe has some unusual lessons to teach. Cats have dignity, she tells them, and children should, too. She goes on to teach them about sitting still and being quiet. She even teaches them about love.

This charming story is just right for kids 6-9. It makes a great story for children to read on their own or with parents or grandparents. The gentle lessons will leave a warm glow in the hearts of young and old alike.
