Cat and Mice — Debby Slier

The sun is beaming. Cat is sleeping. One mouse peeps out of the mouse hole. Another mouse joins her, then another. Cat is nowhere in sight! Three mice are creeping out of the hole for an adventure. But will they be safe? Dog might have an idea. Pat Schories, the beloved artist of the Biscuit series, captures the delightful dynamics of these familiar animals in action in her charming illustrations. Best of all, this clever and quietly spirited story is told in carefully crafted simple sentences. The words are playful, easy to read, and fun to sound out, making the book perfect for beginning readers.
