Mittens is a small kitten in a big new house! Will he be able to find a place just for him?!

Let's do this. Before we get into today's story, do you want to know a fun fact? Cats have a total of 18 toes. How many toes do you have? Okay, story time. Today we're going to read Mittens by Lola M. Schaefer. Nick has a new kitten. His name is Mittens. Mittens, this is your new home. says Nick. Mittens looks around. Everything is new and big. Mittens is scared. Mittens wants a hiding place.

He wants a small place just for him. Zoom! Mittens runs out of the room. Zoom! Mittens runs behind the TV. It is too loud. Zoom! Mittens runs under the soul.

It is too dark. Zoom! Mittens runs down the hall and under the bed. This is it. Mittens has a hiding place. He has a small place just for him. But everything is still new and Mittens is still scared. Mittens cries.

Mittens, where are you? you calls Nick. Miao! There you are! Don't cry, Mitten's, says Nick. Nick lies down. You are safe now, says Nick. I will take care of you.

Mittens moves towards Nick. I will be your friend, says Nick. Mittens comes closer. Nick waits. Mittens curls up. curls up next to Nick. Welcome home, mittens, says Nick. Purr, says Mittens.

The end. Before you go, do you think you could answer today's paying attention question? Why did Mittens not like hiding behind the TV? If your answer was, because it was too loud, great job! You sure were paying attention. I hope you enjoyed that story.

I wonder what we're going to read next.
