Tea with Oliver — Mika Song

Filled with humor and heart and brought to life with gorgeous watercolor-and-ink illustrations, this book from debut author-illustrator Mika Song shows readers how friends can come in all shapes and sizes and be found in the most unexpected places.

Oliver is not like other cats. He likes cookies and tea and just wants a friend to share them with.

Philbert is the shy mouse who lives under Oliver's couch. He tries to get Oliver's attention by writing him notes, but Oliver doesn't notice little Philbert. When a full-on cat party erupts at Oliver's apartment, brave Philbert decides this is his big chance to finally introduce himself to Oliver.

Dear Oliver, Let's have tea. Love, Philbert (under the couch)
