Books in Cat and Mouse series

A first experience with snowCat and Mouse have gone out to play together in the green meadow every day since they became friends. Then one morning they find that the green meadow is gone! The two friends set off in search of it, but everywhere they look the ground is white -- covered with snow-- and soon they are too! Cat and Mouse quickly discover that this white world has new kinds of fun to offer, and that the green meadow hasnt disappeared at all -- it's just become the white meadow for a while. In the fourth of his beguiling Cat and Mouse books, Tomek Bogacki's simple text and delightful pictures once again capture the innocence of being a child in the ever-changing natural world, in which each new day brings both surprises and pleasures.

Nighttime doesn't have to be scary! When Cat and Mouse stay out late to play, they have fun until it gets dark and they hear strange noises. But then they meet a new friend, Owl. "Don't be afraid," he tells them. "It's a beautiful night." Cat and Mouse don't understand. How can it be beautiful when it's so dark and scary? So Owl invites them to reconsider night, from a vantage point at the top of his tree. In the third of his Cat and Mouse books, Tomek Bogacki -- whose fables for the very young have been likened to those of Leo Lionni -- confronts children's fear of the dark by showing them an alternative in his soothingly beautiful nighttime pictures.
