Clifford's Kitten

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the arrival of a new pet or a younger sibling and needs to see their feelings of displaced affection reflected in a safe, humorous way. While Clifford is usually the center of attention, the arrival of a tiny kitten forces him to navigate feelings of jealousy and the awkwardness of sharing his space. Through Clifford's oversized but gentle perspective, children learn that while a new addition might change the family dynamic, it doesn't diminish the love their parents or caregivers have for them. It is a perfect choice for preschoolers and early elementary students (ages 3 to 7) who are learning to balance their own needs with empathy for those smaller than themselves.
