One night pet cat Oscar jumps from a garage roof to the moon. There he befriends some "mooncats" and has a blast--until he hears his boy sadly calling to him from Earth. The plot and wordy text serve as vehicles for the author's larger point about loyalty. More interesting are the mixed-media illustrations, which have a 3-D look.

When a wild wind wreaks havoc in a village of basket weavers, they try unsuccessfully to capture it with their biggest and strongest baskets. Then two children make a basket small and soft enough to lure the wind to sleep inside, and all is well. The ending is a bit long, but the vibrant illustrations create an eye-catching, quirky world.
