K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Anne Kennedy.
Captain Riff Raff and his mice-pirate crew learn their stolen hunk of cheese was spotted someplace that "sounds like HAT!" They sail to Roly-poly Mat, Bat Cave, and Rat bunker, but "no cheese." Are they brave enough to look on Cat Island? Repetition, lots of sound-alike words, and context clues in the friendly illustrations keep this adventure-filled easy reader afloat.
