Anyone who loves cats will love this book, even if they do not they will think Sid is one funny cat by the end of the story. Sid lives in six houses, has six different names, and eats six different dinners every night. How does he get away with this any students might wonder. The people where he lives do not ever talk to each other, therefor they have no clue that they along with five other people own the cat. Sid's sneakiness is eventually found out when he becomes sick and goes to the vet six times.
This book could be used in a variety of different lessons. The first way would be to use it to teach kids new vocabulary. With new words such as suspicious, mischief, swanky, and smooched a teacher could create an entire vocabulary test off of the book. A teacher could also use this book for a math lesson and learning the six's multiplication tables. The students could solve a variety of different problems to figure out how many dinners Sid would get per day, week, ect.
suspicious, mischief, swanky, smooched
