K-3My Readers series.
Illustrated by
Olga Ivanov
&
Aleksey Ivanov.
In Rescue, Harry Cat helps Tucker Mouse escape from a shop (Chester Cricket doesn't appear in this story). Tucker becomes the manager of a bug band (whose noisy rehearsals originally drove him crazy) in Beetle. While Feldman's text and the Ivanovs' look-alike art aren't on par with Selden and Williams's original work, these are two perfectly pleasant easy-reader episodes based on beloved characters. Review covers these My Readers titles: Harry Cat and Tucker Mouse: Harry to the Rescue and Harry Cat and Tucker Mouse: Tucker's Beetle Band.
