Illustrated by
Maddy McClellan.
A lot of scary, different things are happening at Friday's house: a pink bed and bowl appear, and there are new smells and sounds. With every change, scaredy-cat Friday hides. When he finally comes out, he meets Angela, the new cat, and realizes change can be exciting. The plot is super-slim, but textual repetition and tension-filled illustrations will appeal to beginning readers.
