Reach for this book when your child is clinging to their home routines or showing signs of 'first-day jitters' about starting school. It is an ideal choice for the child who finds comfort in the familiar and feels a spike in anxiety when faced with new environments or expectations. The story follows a self-important cat who believes he is the center of the universe and is deeply offended when his daily schedule is interrupted by a trip to kindergarten. Through Kitty's humorous perspective, the book gently explores themes of flexibility and the bravery required to try something new. It is perfectly pitched for ages 5 to 7, offering a safe, funny way for parents to discuss the transition to school without it feeling like a lecture. By seeing a favorite animal navigate the 'scary' world of the classroom, children can normalize their own feelings of hesitation and realize that while things change, the safety of home is always waiting.
