read aloud with the neighbour's cat . . .

yesterday. practicing a new read-aloud (for my class this autumn) with the neighbour's cat . . . miss scruffypants.

at first she has on her long-suffering look . . .

then she pulls out the "wellllllll alright then" . . . . look . . . .

but when the story gets going . . . she hunkers in . . . . .
