K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Robert Eberz.
Text by Jacqueline Resnick. Splat's mouse friend Seymour's brother, Brice, is coming to visit, and the high-strung cat is so excited he's losing sleep. Splat prepares an awesome surprise for Brice, but it backfires--or does it? The slight text sometimes feels tied down by its internal rhymes, but the sound repetition should help new readers. The illustrations (in Scotton's style) humorously convey action and emotion.
