Everyone's talking about Baxter the Bobcat - but Max, the new kid at school, has no idea who (or what) that is! From the front office to the playground, Max follows clue after clue, meeting friendly faces and learning about his new school along the way. But the big question remains: Where is Baxter?
This charming picture book combines mystery, heart, and humor as readers join Max on his journey of discovery and belonging. With subtle hints woven throughout the story, students can make predictions, draw inferences, and identify character feelings - all while engaging with a fun and relatable plot.
At the end of the story, the surprise is revealed... and readers are introduced to the real-life Baxter the Bobcat in a special nonfiction section! This section allows students to learn about text features, such as headings, diagrams, timelines, and captions.
Perfect for classroom read-alouds or bedtime stories, Where Is Baxter the Bobcat? is both an engaging fictional adventure and an educational tool. Teachers and parents can use the book to support important literacy skills, including making predictions, analyzing text features, and discussing emotions and transitions.
Whether you're a young reader on the hunt for clues or an educator looking to build community and curiosity, Baxter is ready to be found!
