Can you imagine not liking animals? This story is about a man who didn't like animals. Will he change his mind when the animals start to really like him?


The book cover shows an annoyed man looking out his window with a cat on the window sill. Many other animals peek around the corner of his house.

This book helps to build:


  • Phonological Awareness

  • Narrative Skills


Children practice:


  • Talking

  • Singing


Practice talking by making animal sounds. Learn narrative skills from the repetition throughout the story. Sing the song at the end of the book!


Extend the book by counting with sheep!


Print out these sheep templates (PDF) or make your own.


The template has a sheep with lots of room for drawing in the wool. Each one has a number in the corner so you can place 6 pom poms or three balls etc on the sheep

Match the number on the page with objects such as pom-poms, cotton balls, or marshmallows.
