Cat's First Baby

A parent would reach for this book when a resident pet is about to lose its status as the only child in the house. It is the perfect tool for families introducing a new baby to a household where a cat has previously ruled the roost. The story humorously follows a domestic cat who is quite confused by the arrival of a tiny, loud, and attention-stealing human. Through the cat's perspective, the book explores themes of displacement, curiosity, and eventual acceptance. It is ideal for toddlers aged 0 to 3 who are experiencing their own feelings of jealousy or wonder regarding a new sibling. Parents will appreciate the lighthearted approach to a major life transition, using the family pet as a relatable proxy for a child's own complicated emotions.
