Ok, we're sort of cheating.....
DD's school does a literary parade in lieu of kids dressing up for Halloween at school. You don't have to participate for if you do, the kids all take their favorite character from a book to dress up as. It's can't be violent characters, cartoon characters, movie or tv characters etc... It has to be from a book. If you don't follow these rules, you can't participate.
Well, DD has some significant sensory issues around clothing. She's super sensitive to anything itchy or anything she might perceive as itchy. So, Halloween (and dress up) is a real challenge for her.
So, we found this black body suit that is very soft - nothing itchy or scratchy so we're good. She figures she can be a cat.
So, we're sort of cheating by finding the costume and then trying to find a book character to match but, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
But, I am planning on having her find a book with a black cat as the main character and reading it so she's following the rules of the parade.
Anyway, this is my long winded way of asking if anyone has any book recommendations. She's reading chapter books - about the 2nd grade level. Can you think of any books that have a black cat as the main character?
