Jet the Cat (Is Not a Cat) (Bilingual Chinese & English)

by Phaea Crede, Terry Runyan (Illustrator)

Overview

“Crede’s tale of individuality and acceptance of self gets its point across in an age-appropriate manner. Little individualists will identify with Jet and respond favorably to Runyan’s cartoon illustrations of wide-eyed animals with bendy limbs and googly eyes” – Kirkus Reviews

Jet is not like any other cat . . . but when other animals try to convince her that she's really a bird or a frog or a goat, she learns to embrace her unique identity. This hilarious story, now in bilingual Chinese and English, teaches us to celebrate our differences and be confident in our true selves.

• Develop early English and LANGUAGE language skills
• Features a silly cast of animal characters
• A perfect read-aloud for storytime, bedtime and in the classroom
