Parent Guide > The Day it Rained Cats and Dogs
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "The Day it Rained Cats and Dogs" by S. Blais.
In "The Day it Rained Cats and Dogs," Gavi wonders what it means to "rain cats and dogs" until pets start to fall from the sky.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Community and Growing Up as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
