Cat’s Cool Creations
Catherine Recommends….
My wonderful and gifted old daughter began this list when she was 6 years old. She loves to read and now that she is in middle school she has lots of ideas about what is well received for the younger crowd, as well as for teens. She thought everyone should know what she is interested in reading, and I’m always glad to tell others about great books or learning tools for kids. If they aren’t playing one of my bingo games, have them check out these books!

Here’s Cat’s Story: The Aliens of the Hot Sauce Galaxy
Once upon a time, there was a race of aliens from the Hot Sauce Galaxy… “Today is a day of glory! Today is the day that we steal all of the cows from the Milky-way Galaxy!” their Leader Fudge N. Nugget announced, and on those words they flew off in their Burritos mobiles. It was a long journey, and they got very bored. “Are we there yet?” was asked so many times that it became their motto. It was a very long time before they picked up their first signal from Earth, “What is this?” Fudge N. Nugget asked his crew when they showed it to him, “We don’t know sir, but I’ll call it Disney Channel” his crew responded. “Oh wait! They are trying to make contact!” They cried as the screen began to pick up sound, which went something like this, “I’m Chyna Anne McClain from Ant Farm and you’re watching Disney Channel!” “See I told you guys that’s what it’s called!” the technician, Baaab squawked when Disney Channel went on a commercial break. When they entered the Milky-way Galaxy they were very surprised, “Where are all the cows?” asked the technician, Baaab when they neared Earth. “I don’t know Baaab, maybe they are on this planet over here!” Fudge N. Nugget replied as he steered his burritos mobile toward Earth. The burritos mobiles all landed on the beach with a thud. The aliens decided to get out and explore, they were amazed by what they found. “Baaab, come here and decipher this strange writing at once!” Fudge N. Nugget commanded. “I think it says ‘The Best Pizza Ever’, but what’s ‘pizza’?” Baaab asked. “Let’s go check it out. CHARGE!” Fudge N. Nugget ordered as they stormed they pizza parlor. The aliens marched in and ate a super-extra-large pepperoni, anchovy, mushroom, bell pepper, veggie, sausage, bacon, olive, twelve-cheese pizza. “ That was the best ‘pizza’ I’ve ever had!” Baaab exclaimed “we should have this stuff at home, so let’s take it!” the Leader Fudge N. Nugget shouted as he led the march into the kitchen to steal the recipes. When they had taken everything in the pizza parlor, they hopped into their burritos mobiles and headed home for their all-night pizza party! The End. Oh yeah, and they all lived happily ever after!…
