As a fan of abecedarian books, I thought it would be challenging fun to attempt one myself--and make it loosely rhyme and employ alliteration at times. So, I chose 26 primary activities/items (each one representing a letter of the alphabet) for Anubis, the kitty, to engage in daily to keep him both happy and healthy as a kitty who enjoys hours of indoor play daily along with safe and structured outdoor play. It can be considered a complex, though delightful, environment which the kitty maneuvers in and out of in an efficient way without equipment assisting him--therefore, it's a sort of 'kitty parkour.' Plus, I have included vocabulary that will challenge children to learn and hopefully not be intimidated by both 'big words' and whimsical made-up words. I don't subscribe to the notion of 'dumbing things down' for children's sake. Indeed, it's for children's sake that I have not 'dummied' our beautiful language down. Finally, Anubis's house (including grounds) is a palace in the sense that he's an exalted cat living in his idea of a splendid abode.
