Illustrative scenes and accessible language support early reading and introduce empathy for animals.

Keeping Clean

Did you ever see a mother cat wash herself?
She wets her fur with her tongue.
She washes her whole body that way.
Then she washes her face with her wet paw.
She uses her front paws for hands.
She likes to keep herself clean.
She wants the little kittens to be clean.
So she washes them too.
Mother cat’s fur is shiny.
She is a very clean cat.
She is cleaner than some children I know.
