In a small, cozy house, Kitty woke up feeling jittery. Today was a special day!

She put on her bright red bow and looked at herself. 'You can do this,' she whispered.

Mama Cat hugged her. 'You'll make lots of pals! Just be yourself,' she said smiling.

At Sunnyside School, Kitty's whiskers twitched nervously. The hallways buzzed with chatter.

In Mrs. Fuzzyfur's class, Kitty found a seat by the window and waited quietly.

A puppy named Barkley sat next to her. 'Hi! Want to be desk-buddies?' he woofed.

Kitty smiled and nodded. Mrs. Fuzzyfur started the lesson with a fun song.

During lunch, Kitty and Barkley shared snacks. They laughed at each other's jokes.

Playtime was next. Kitty's fear vanished as she played tag with her classmates.

When it was time to go home, Kitty didn't want to leave. 'School is fun!' she purred.

Barkley waved a paw. 'See you tomorrow, Kitty!' he shouted as buses rumbled away.

Back home, Kitty told Mama Cat about her day. 'And I made a friend!' she exclaimed.
