All About Black Cats

Explore the fascinating science behind one of Halloween’s most misunderstood animals with this free six-page Little Roots mini-study!

Designed for children ages 2–9, All About Black Cats combines gentle science, animal awareness and hands-on learning in an age-flexible format.

Inside, children will:
