Cat and Mouse — George Daugherty

From acclaimed author Amy Tan comes an entirely different kind of character: She's curious and imaginative. She's inclined to get into mischief. She's Sagwa--the Chinese Siamese cat!

Sagwa and Sheegwa enjoy playing hide and seek with their friends, the mice, until Sagwa is ridiculed by the alley cats for playing with something that should be food. Giving in to their taunts, Sagwa decids that she won't play with the mice anymore, but it's no fun. Eventually Fu-Fu helps her to see that she needs to choose her own friends.

Teaches kids to stand up for what they believe in, no matter what pressures are brought on them to conform to the supposed norms.
