Only yellow birds or blue rabbits live in the Land of This or That...until a green half-bird, half-rabbit hatches. Is it this, or that? It says "both," but the others name it "Neither" and banish it. Then Neither finds the Land of All, where "all were welcome!" Bright colors, adorable creatures, and a dynamic design make this story of inclusion both useful and enjoyable.

On a gray day, Cat strolls through the rolling landscape collecting colors from a green tree, red roses, the sunset, and other parts of the natural world. Inexplicably, each color marks her white fur. Later, the feline emerges from a plant followed by seven kittens, each one a different color mentioned before. Pleasing, simple illustrations somewhat compensate for the puzzling nature of the story.

In this story told entirely in illustrations and dialogue-balloon utterances ("Eek!"; "Grrr!"; "Ta da!"), a monkey and a crocodile meet, compete, become friends, hide from predators, and cheer at their cunning and, it seems, good fortune to have met each other. The noises-as-narrative format works courtesy of Anderson's immediate and exciting illustrations of the adorable little rivals.
