Written by Bonnie Worth, Illustrated by Aristides Ruiz
In today’s world kids have so much happening in their little lives and minds, it is hard for them to know how to work through feelings and emotions. The Cat on the Mat is wonderfully written and uniquely illustrated. The illustrations and the rhyming grab your attention from the beginning. The mindfulness message throughout the book teaches young readers how they can deal with the stresses of life. The book teaches them to be in tune with their mind and body. I like how the author integrates being kind, showing kindness, and how to be a good friend. This book is a great tool for teachers who teach young kids to have in their class library. Really can’t go wrong with any Dr. Suess books.
