A sweet, playful story about identity - and what it means to belong. Why, of course Donkey's a cat. He spends all his time with the other cats on the farm. He licks his fur and pounces, just like they do. He even cuddles with them at nap time. Though, he must admit, sometimes he does feel ... a little off. So, when Farmer says to him, “Donkey, you're acting like a cat!” it gets him thinking. What if he's not a cat? And if not, then what is he? Will going off on his own help Donkey figure out what he is and where he belongs? Award-winning author Kari-Lynn Winters's delightful story of self-discovery uses kid-perfect hilarity to deliver the message that every individual has something unique to offer to their community. The contrast between Donkey and his cat friends makes for laugh-out-loud silliness in Kelly Collier's endearing and amusing art (ever seen a Donkey perch on a fence post?). Pages are filled with spot illustrations, speech bubbles and action words that keep the visual appeal high. Sure to be a story-time crowd-pleaser, this picture book could easily spark discussions about identity, fitting in and belonging. It also works well for character education lessons on adaptability, inclusiveness, initiative and caring.

"What if I'm not a cat? is a very interesting book. It is intended for younger readers, and for children who are starting to read on their own. This book will help them learn to read. The whole story is about a donkey who thought he was a cat. But he began to wonder who he really was. Did the feline friends help Donkey discover the truth? Will they accept him for who he is? This book teaches you to accept diversity. Just because we look different doesn't mean we're inferior. I like the illustrations in this book. I found funny and sad moments here.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book, mommy_and_books.
