Illustrated by
Lisa McCue.
Humorous watercolors illustrate the story of a cat and a rat who enjoy playing ill-natured tricks on each other (à la Tom and Jerry). When each mistakenly thinks the other has sent him a gift, their acrimonious relationship changes to one of lifelong friendship. Readers will delight in knowing the truth behind the mix-up while the two main characters remain clueless.
