Cat Ears on Elizabeth is the third in Rachel Vail's A Is for Elizabeth chapter book series--featuring illustrations by Paige Keiser. Cat ears on your headband is not the only way to look great. But it is a very good way. Mallory has glitter folders and bright orange sneakers and a huge pink eraser. And Mallory has cat ears on her headband. Then Anna comes to school with cat ears on her headband, too. Everybody loves how they look in those cat-ear headbands. Especially Elizabeth. Elizabeth doesn’t have cat ears on her anything. She doesn’t even have any headband at all anymore. (They squish her head too much). Elizabeth needs a cat-ears headband! It’s an emergency! Maybe a surprise I Love You present from her grandparents will fix everything. Or maybe Elizabeth doesn’t need to be fixed at all. A Is For Elizabeth : "The prolific Vail here turns her attention to early chapter books in this introduction to second grader Elizabeth. . . this has a satisfying conclusion, as the class comes together to decide what's really important when it comes how to order things. The clever dialogue is matched by the delightful pencil illustrations that capture Elizabeth's shifting emotions." ― Booklist Rachel Vail is the author of children’s books including Justin Case, Sometimes I’m Bombaloo, and Righty and Lefty.
