PS
Rueda uses a classic cat-chases-mouse context to reveal that what seems big/deep/heavy to one may be very small/shallow/light to another. The pattern of opposites engages readers who will delight in predicting what's next, and the graphic palette of orange, black, and white is striking. The ultra-simple text may not call for multiple readings but may provide good fodder for discussions of comparative terms.
