Two cats caught in a storm drain inadvertently bring about the initial meeting of their worried owners: two kids who live across the street from each other but keep to themselves. The rhymed text is occasionally awkward, but the book's conclusion, which further bonds the neighbors, is affecting. The careful pencil and watercolor illustrations render the storm and sweet domestic scenes with equal precision.
