Celebrated my birthday by reading one of my favorite books to some of my students. I also indulged them with a Donald Duck cartoon. I use the applecore routine to get their attention. I thought they would enjoy seeing where I learned it.

I would use this book in my classroom to show students that they can do anything they put their mind too. People underestimate the kitten in the story. However, the kitten works hard even with the odds against her.

This book would be appropriate for kindergarten and 1st grade. This book is about a kitten who wants to prove to humans that there are more to animals than just cuteness. So, the kitten starts a construction company and builds a bridge

All the blurbs refer to this book as a thriller, and I was starting to wonder why when BAM! the plot went in a totally unforseen direction. Not many books make me talk out loud to the characters, but this one did. So wild and unexpected.

3✨ I like the idea of this series. Plus I like many of the characters. I still have an issue with her just calling her dog: “dog”. I didn‘t engage as much as I would like to with this book, but I do like the resolution that was made so there is closure. Overall, this book was a meh for me. #SeriesLove @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

In 1957 my grandpa built the house they are still living in now, at the age of 91. He and Grandma were talking yesterday about the adventure of building their own house and I asked Grandpa how he knew what to do. He replied, "I had a book!" and then pulled this one off the shelf. It's absolutely fascinating and full of details, blueprints, and careful instructions. However, I forgot to ask him if they came in under the $3500 mark.

Jari-chan That's amazing!🤩 13mo
Picking_Books That is amazing! My husband‘s grandfather also built the house they still live in today. Grandpa passed away 2 years ago but Grandma still lives there and she is 94 years old. I don‘t know why I never thought to ask him how he knew how to build it. 13mo
AmyG Wow. That must be fascinating. 13mo

Bklover Wow! That would be a PROJECT! Especially with no customer service number to call with questions, no YouTube videos, no Google. 😯 13mo

mrp27 So awesome and fascinating! 13mo
lauraisntwilder That is so cool! My dad built the house I grew up in and we have a really funny picture of him sitting in front of the newly-completed brick fireplace "reading" a book on masonry. ? 13mo
Chelsea.Poole I love this!! 13mo
TheAromaofBooks @Picking_Books - I wonder if their house was built around the same era? The introduction to this book talks about how basically because of the population boom, many young couples were building for themselves instead of waiting for a house to come up for sale. 13mo
TheAromaofBooks @BKlover - Right?? My husband and I have done a lot of remodeling to our house, but I can't imagine trying to do it without watching YouTube videos along the way!! Grandpa's dad and father-in-law both helped him some, but neither of them were builders, either (one was a farmer and the other was a school teacher). My favorite part of the story is them using dynamite to blow out all the tree roots in the way of the basement! 😂 13mo
TheAromaofBooks @lauraisntwilder - That is so fun! I may need to borrow that masonry book, as our chimney is looking a little sketchy 😂 13mo
Picking_Books @TheAromaofBooks Yes it was around the same era. Grandpa came back from World War 2 and married grandma and built the house. That is so interesting! 13mo
Bklover Can you imagine if you tried to use dynamite now?!!!! @TheAromaofBooks 13mo
