I actually get a lot offers to review children?s books, and I?m always hesitant because neither of my children can properly read yet.? However, the story of ?Floppy Cat? by Kari Kay is one that I had no trouble with!
It?s the story of a cat who is disabled..he can?t walk properly, he can only ?flop?.? After watching other animal friends playing baseball, a sport he cannot do, he asks why he is floppy.??? Based on a? real cat, Floppy is an enjoyable read that teaches a child to embrace their abilities, accept their disabilities, and live a full life either way.
Oh, and my kids? They LOVE this book!? Even Zoe, who I will admit, does not have the patience for books. She loves them with bright, vibrant pictures, but if I read the words she loses it. But she was engaged by the bright colors, the cats, and all the farm animals, so I told her the story instead.
What?s lovely about this book is that if you are reading it to a child with a disability, you can easily slide into ?be proud of who you are? or ?you are exactly as God made you and I love every bit of you??even if your child does not talk!? I loved this book even if the meter of the poems is a little off.? Amelia actually let me read most of it to her, and she too loved the cat.? At the end, the author invites readers to visit the website and share their dreams and goals ? I LOVE that part!? I give this book HIGH points for message and art.? It?s a great book for anyone?s collection, but I think it?s really good for special needs kids.
