    Meow Is Not a Cat: Book Cover

    Meow is Not a Cat is a valuable reference for introducing the concept of neurodivergence both at home and in the classroom and can lend itself to some great conversations about neurodiversity.

    About the Book

    Meow Is Not a Cat: Book Cover

    Meow Is Not a Cat

    Written by Kelly Tills

    Illustrated by Max Saladrigas

    Ages 4+ | 44 Pages

    Publisher: FDI Publishing LLC | ISBN-13: 9781736700488

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Meow is definitely not a cat. Cats lick their butts. Follow along as this wild child’s unique way of following instructions ends up going a little bananas.

    Meow Is Not Cat is a completely goofy story, guaranteed to make kids laugh. With a cynical cat, wild monkeys, butt jokes, and a banana cannon, even pre-readers will love shouting out their favorite parts as you read aloud. Nestled among the laughs is a lesson about how embracing a person’s different way of interpreting the world can lead to surprisingly good results —and bananas, lots of bananas.
