Summary:  

Cats fill./ Cats spill./ Cats flow downhill./ Cats tip./ Cats drip./ Cats grip, snip, rip./ Cats are a liquid/ Except when they’re not.

Celebrate cats in all their flowing, furry glory! This charming picture book examines the unusual physical properties of felines. Inspired by an Ig Nobel Prize–winning investigation of how cats behave like liquids, it introduces some of the physical properties of liquids—they adapt to fit a container, they flow like fluids—and is just pure fun. Like its inspiration, it makes you laugh, then think. Back matter includes a brief introduction to the different physical states: solid, liquid, gas.

Children's crafts for Story-times

Since I've stepped into my new job, I've come down with the task of developing story times for both Baby and Toddler time (6 months to 3 years) and Preschoolers (3 years and up). I'm starting to discover I'm lacking an arsenal of ideas for crafts. That said, if anyone has any suggestions for crafts for the Preschool Story Time, I would be indefinitely grateful.
