Greenbackboy ropes Snowboy into playing a game called "KA-CHING," which requires cutting down trees and depleting the ocean of fish. Fortunately, Snowboy saved one tree and two fish when Greenbackboy wasn't looking; can Snowboy restore nature's balance? The strange story, set in an unspecified place and time, is a seductive fantasia with an ecological message draped in beguilingly broody art.

Compassionate Miss Hazeltine opens her home to so-called "hopeless" scaredy-cats unwanted by other people. When Miss Hazeltine trips and falls into a ditch while replenishing the milk supply, a particularly small and fearful cat named Crumb summons his courage to lead the others in a search party. Loose pencil lines (digitally colored in a muted palette) capture the text's gentle humor.
