5. Ashley’s 1st Journal Assignment • Student: Ashley Jones • Book: Mia the Beach Cat • Journal Assignment 1 • The reason I chose this book is because I like cats. This book reminded me of the time my family went to the beach with my cat Blossom. This book reminds me of my cat because they both do some of the same silly things. I like playing with my cat outside. My cat likes playing with my friends too. This book was so good, I can’t wait to read my next reading assignment. • This is my cat Blossom.
