Oscar is the resident cat in a care home; all day long he helps out the people who live there as well as the doctors and nurses. But sometimes there comes a time when Oscar is needed to stay and watch over someone - he's not just a cat, he's a 'Guardian Cat' who's there when he is needed. Based on a true story, this is a beautifully illustrated and thought-provoking picture book that will help children and their parents as they talk together about death and the cycle of life.

Bright, cheerful, and inviting are the qualities which distinguish this friendly quartet of very first readers, intended for children just beginning to decode words on their own. Little Mouse's bustling activities are the perfect vehicle to introduce not only reading but also underscore such previously acquired concepts as colors, time, prepositions and sharing. Words are carefully matched to illustrations-insuring that the youngest reader is provided visual reinforcement. An endearing character, compelling stories, sturdy card-stock pages: the perfect answer to the ever-present demand for titles which make the bridge from read-alouds to read-alones.?

Lift the flaps and follow an endearing tiny robot as she searches for her missing pet. Unfortunately, our young heroine cannot find her little robot rabbit anywhere! Mike Brownlow again creates a hilarious community of robots--scary, stretchy, mischievous, sporty--all of who want to help Little Girl Robot in her search. More often than not, they comically and unwittingly complicate the quest. Filled with flaps, accented with foil, and bursting with color, this imaginative rendering of the world according to robots, along with its simple rhyming text, is sure to delight robot fans, big and little alike.
